Accordion Album

Tuesday on the Red Rubber Designs blog I posted a tutorial to show how to assemble the Natalee Accordion Album Kit. Today I am going to show you my finished album.

In the tutorial I showed the belly band that was included in the kit but I changed my mind at the last minute to make the cover a little more interesting.

I enjoyed creating a collage out of flowers, chipboard pieces, and metal trinkets to grace the cover.

On the right is a faux cabinet card.  The moth has sparkle on the veins that did not pick up in the photo.

Have you ever saved some images until just the right paper turned up for your project?  That is the case with these beautiful young ladies from Paper Whimsy.  When I saw this album and the companion paper, Angelee, I knew that the match had been made. Now if I only had a few more of the images, I could complete the back of the tags!  Some day...

The ribbon on the dark colored tag was heated to crinkle it and give it a vintage look.  The bee has an extra set of vellum wings for definition.

Stamped below this image are the words "beautiful SOUL" from the stamp set by the same name.  I didn't use any gesso or sprays or paints on this album...I didn't want to cover up the beautiful papers.

The printed captions on some of the images are also from Paper Whimsy.

I hope you enjoyed the (almost) completed album and will give one a try yourself.

This album kit as well as many other scrapbooking papers and supplies are on sale for a few more days.  Be sure and take advantage of the savings at Red Rubber Designs.
