Frilly and Funkie Saturday Step x Step: When Pigs Fly Mini Album Tutorial
Hello, Friends! Isn’t Saturday just the most wonderful day of the week? You can wear your jammies all day long if you feel like it! I know a lot of us are dealing with the winter blues right now, so I’ve worked up a really fun When Pigs Fly Mini Album Tutorial to brighten up your weekend. It’s made with Graphic 45’s Olde Curiosity Shoppe Deluxe Collector’s Edition and a whole bunch of dies from my stash. And, since it is Saturday, I have a YouTube Video Tour AND a Snapguide Tutorial to share with you. How fun is that?
When Pigs Fly!
You know those little Russian dolls that stack inside one another? Well, this mini album is a lot like them, because it is a constructed like a mini album within a mini album. It’s interactive, whimsical and has a fun steampunk/vintage vibe.
The inside pages are made with Tammy Tutterow’s incredibly versatile Paper Bag Envelope Die. This adds an interactive element , and that always makes me happy!
The flowers are made with Tammy’s Pom Pom Posie Die and printed paper from the Olde Curiosity Shoppe collection. I took a walk on the wild side and added stamens to the center this time.
This little piggy went to market…via air mail! I love this piggy so much that I went searching through my considerable button stash in search of this wooden piggy button. Be still my heart! And see that cute banner floating beneath Mr. Pig? It’s made with Tammy’s Shortie Tabs Dies. Yes, people…I had a Tammy love fest going on in my studio this week!
This chunky little piggy album measures just about 3.5″ x 5.5″ and has a 2″ spine. I could go on and on…but why don’t you just watch this YouTube video tour so you can see all the details.

When Pigs Fly Snapguide Tutorial
I put together a Snapguide tutorial that covers the basics of building the album base, creating a tab binding system, making the pocket pages and the cute little Mini Tag Books that are used throughout. I don’t go into decorating the pages…maybe a hint here or there. But once you know how to build the album base, etc. you can make this album in any theme you choose. It’s the old “give a man a fish/teach a man to fish” theory in practice.
I hope you found some ideas here that you can use in your own creative process. I spent hours (days, actually) pulling all of this together for you in hopes that it would get your creative juices flowing. I have product links below. Just click on the picture and it will take you right to the store. How’s that for enabling?
I’d love to hear from you in the comment section below.
Thanks for sharing your Saturday with me!
