To make it even easier, I created a printable 8x8 album tutorial guide so you can follow along with measurements and build confidently. Perfect to keep on hand at your craft table!
Why I Love This Album Size:
The 8x8 format is so versatile—big enough to fit plenty of photos and journaling, but still small enough to feel like a cozy, handmade gift. You can customize it for birthdays, holidays, travel memories, or even a baby book!
Stay tuned—I'll be decorating this album with a gorgeous paper collection very soon, and you won’t want to miss that follow-up post!
