I made this Accordian Mini-Album as a sample for a Mother's Day gift class I'm having May 1 (if you're local to DC--there are still a few spots left!). I learned how to make it at my local Stampin' Up! group's recent meeting. I also got the idea for the butterfly from that meeting too. You simply wrap a ribbon around the butterfly (made from SU!'s Butterfly Die), add Sticky Strip and ribbon.If you email me, I can send you a file with the instructions from my meeting but I'm not sure if I should post them directly on here. Basically, you'll need a Large Scallop Die and a Big Shot.
To decorate the album, I used Bella Rose Designer Paper, Red Riding Hood
and Kiwi Kiss 12 x 12 cardstock. The stamps are from a few different sets, including: All Holidays, Enjoy the Moment, Stitched Exotics, God's Blessings and Fifth Avenue Floral. (The sentiment under the first photo and after "Enjoy" is: "the little things" with a pic of my kids). I was really pleased with the way it all came together as a special Mother's Day gift!
