Engraved Garden Gate Fold Mini (K&Company)

****Sorry my video cut off on my at the very end. I guess I was being too gabby and it was trying to shut me up!! Anyway, thanks for watching and I welcome any comments!****

I have another mini to share with you although I'm not sure it actually classifies as a "mini". It is a gate fold album created with K&Co.'s Engraved Garden papers and embellishments. It's closed size is 9" x 14". I made this off of the tutorial by creativecafegirl. I have her tutorial link, as well as the actual album that inspired me to start on this one, shown below at the end. Here are some supplies I used:

The whiteboard and chipboard were bought at JoAnns; the Kraft cardstock is from Michaels. The paper is K&Company's Engraved Garden (bought at Michaels). I used several stickers, borders and diecuts from the same collection.

Stamps: butterfly and couch stamps from Michaels dollar bins.
Ink: I distressed the edges of just about everything. I used barn door distress ink on a couple of tags.

I used a Tim Holtz clip and also a small paperclip from Stampin Up
There are a few mini and really distress tags in the album...they are 7Gypsies (I bought them "pre-distressed"); There are also several manilla tags...they are from Ranger.
I used Ranger crackle accents on one of the die-cut flowers.
I used Prima bling (2 of them) on the cover (from Hobby Lobby)
The little square kraft envelope came from Hobby Lobby
I used two 6"x9" envelopes from the Dollar Tree

Punches used: EK Success flower outline; Stampin Up 1 3/8" circle; and Martha Stewart's double loop corner and border

Ribbon: Sheer Green & Orange is Celebrate It from Michaels; the narrow red is Offray and I think I got it at Hobby Lobby several years ago; I've also used miscellaneous fibers that I had in my stash.

I bound it with my bind-it-all using the 3/4" rings

I think that's about it. If I've missed something, just let me know. I hope you enjoy it. I welcome any comments or suggestions. Thanks so much for watching!!

Oh, here are the links for the tutorial and the inspiration album:
