TOILET PAPER ROLL MINI ALBUM CONTEST














(Example photo)


The contest for May is a toilet paper roll mini album with the theme "Happiness is..."

(Sorry for above picture, no matter what I tried it comes up sideways!) :(


You will create an album that showcases what makes you happy in this life, it can be the big things, such as your family, down to the simple things in life, like your morning cup of coffee.













In this kit you will receive four empty toilet paper rolls, four 6x12 pieces of double-sided paper, three 6x12 and two 6x6 pieces of coordinating cardstock, a "happiness is..." stamped image and 5 pieces of coordinating ribbon (not shown in photo).



You must use some of all the elements provided in the kit, but for this contest you are given the creative freedom to add your own elements, i.e., pictures, stamped images, embellishments, etc.


Kits are available now and completed albums will be due back on Saturday, May 21st.

Albums will be on display for judging Wednesday, May 25th through Tuesday, May 31st.


Winner will receive a $10 store credit and thier next contest kit free!



Below is a quick tutorial on how to cover your toilet paper rolls:










Toilet paper rolls are different lengths, so measure the length of yours. Mine measured 4-5/16", so I cut a piece of paper that was 4-5/16 x 6 inches, see below.


















Before applying adhesive I wrapped the toilet paper roll with the paper, lightly creasing at folds, this helps with placement later.









Apply adhesive all the way around the backside of paper, and add a few pieces in the middle to keep the paper in place, see above.









Wrap paper around toilet paper roll, overlapping edges in back. (If you look close you can see where my paper overlaps)
