This is one of my very favorite "altered" projects. I just took a standard photo album where the cover was plain and one that had the ring binder on the edge. Why? BECAUSE I LOVE RIBBON AND FEEL THE NEED TO ADD IT TO ALL OF MY PROJECTS ;) Since the surface of the album was a bit shiny, I sanded it lightly with a paper/hand sander (Sold at most craft stores). I just measured the front and back of the album and adhered printed paper to the album. To embellish, I tied coordinating colored/printed ribbon the the binder. For the front cover I used my Cricut to cut matching finials/flourishes and added a pearl embellishment. Done!

Photo Album
Printed scrapbook paper
Ribbons (various sizes and colors)
