I made my mom an album out of 8 - 6" circles of sheet metal, connected with steel hinges (attached with silver eyelets and ctystal effects to make them hold strong). The album is very heavy though! Metallic was kind of the theme I was going for so you'll see lots of silver and embossing. This one uses Bliss Blue paper, mm charm, embossing pen and white craft ink with silver EP.

I cut the sheet metal with tip snips after tracing it with a template. They are attached by punching holes, adding small hinges with silver eyelets and then securing the slightly loose hinges with crystal effects. HTH!
