Delft Mini Double Accordion Album

It's time for the Club Scrap Delft Blog Hop. Click HERE if you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop.

This month I've created a Mini Double Accordion Album with the Delft Collection. It's the little sister album to the one pictured below that I created earlier this month for the Club Scrap Blog.

The finished size of this mini album when closed measures 2-1/2 x 4-1/2" compared to the 3-1/2x7" original version. The mini size holds 1x2" photos.

Here it is starting to open.

Here are the parts and pieces I cut before assembling.

It's fun to open, close and explore!

The cover is cheerfully decorated with Delft cutaparts.

For more assembly details, check out my entry of the same technique on the Club Scrap Blog.

Thanks for hopping with us! Don't miss the next stop with DebDuzScrappin!

Enjoy,

Shades Of Winter Pocket Book

Welcome to my stop on the Club Scrap Shades Of Winter Blog Hop.

This pocket book project is fun to put together with the beautiful Shades Of Winter collection.

The finished book size measures 5-3/4 x 8". The inside pocket pages measure 5-1/2 x 8" including the 1/2" flap that gets adhered to the accordion binding.

Here are some basic assembly steps"

1. Adhere mat board covers and spine pieces to the outside cover wrap with a foam brush and Bookbinding Glue.

2. Adhere the inside cover wrap.

3. Bend and fold the binding areas, and add decorative brads.

4. Create and adhere an accordion spine to the front and back covers.

5. Cut and score inside pocket pages.

6. Fold and adhere pocket page flaps.

I made five inside pocket pages for my book.

7. Make a notch on the top edge of each page with a 2" circle punch.

8. Adhere pages to the accordion binding.

9. Pierce holes through the outside covers and accordion.

10. Loop waxed linen through the holes and tie to close.

11. Decorate the outside cover.

12. Fill pocket pages with coordinating inserts and embellish with photos and rubber stamped images.

Next on the hop is the talented Debbie at Deb Duz Scrappin'.

Thank you hopping with us. I wish you a very Happy New Year!!

Valentine Keepsake

Since Tricia has got a spoiler up for Club Scraps upcoming Love Blooms Event, I guess it's O.K. for me to do the same :) WhaaHooo! Normally I can't do this until the project is available on our website, but today is different. I'm so glad because I think this project is so totally SWEET!  This Love In A Box project allows you to create a keepsake box containing an accordion album and I've had sooo much fun creating it for you. I'm going to let the pictures tell a lot of the story, and hoping they tell a LOVE story!

It's a box...

..that openings

...and opens further


..with lots of places for photos, love (heheee), rubber stamping, and embellishing!
There is an inner structure that holds an accordion mini album, thinking a punched heart was the perfect thing to attach as the accordion pull tab.

The accordion comes out of the box, so the bottom of the box can be decorated with more photos or however your HEART desires :)


Lots of great potential for adding your own sweet memorabilia. Just like decorating the outside structure, I had a lot of fun with the inside accordion. I grabbed the stencil with the hearts on it from last years Valentine Collection, my craft knife for cutting out some of the shapes, cut up some of the Extra!Extra! Mini Cutaparts for embellishing, and of course had a lot of fun with the new Love Blooms UMs!




Below is me having a little more fun with the Love Blooms UMs.

Then when the box is all closed, the darling clasp keeps all the LOVE inside safe and sound.

I'm definetely feelin' the LOVE, and would love it if you did too!

**Oh, almost forgot** There are sweet rumors here that this project will also be available in a paperless version, I hope they are true. It's so nice to have the precut book board and matte board pcs to work with,  eariler this week I did make this one up using Aurora Borealis papers from my own stash, thought I would also include a couple pics of that while I was at it, however I haven't had time yet to embellish it yet. 
So here it is, plain, without photos.







That's it for now, it's been a fun week here at CS as the Love Blooms product appears and the event gets closer.
Thanks so much for looking and have a SWEET day!
