This project is inspired by the surprise I got in the mail yesterday from Melissa at http://melissa-moecreations.blogspot.com/. I've made these accordion Mini Books before, but not this size. I really like this size!
I took a 12" x 12" piece of DCWV cardstock and cut it in strips. So each strip came out to be 4" x 12". Then I put that in my Martha Stewart Scoring Board and scored every 3" and accordion folded it. Fan folded it. Mountain and valley folded it. You get the picture. :)
I used papers from Cloud 9 Designs for background mats. All the cuts are from Plantin SchoolBook using papers from Recollections.
All embellishments are from Michael's and Joann's.
This was really FUN!!!
On the side I haven't embellished yet, I'm going to put quotes or happy thoughts or sayings. Something you can leave on your desk for a while that will make you smile. Every body needs a "hug" or a smile now and then. That's why I'm calling this MY HAPPY BOOK. :)
This is my submission for Paper Cutz Challenge #58 to use tags in your project.
Thanks for stopping by and all the comments you guys always leave me! If you have any questions, just ask. Make sure you leave your email so I can respond. Someone left me a question a few days ago and I can't get back in touch with them because they don't have a blog or an email attached to their comment. That makes me feel bad. I'm NOT IGNORING YOU!
Much love and hugs.... oh and LET'S GO GAMECOCKS! I live in Augusta, Georiga, but am from South Carolina. Augusta is right on the border of GA and SC. Tomorrow The Georgia Bulldogs are playing our Carolina Gamecocks. There is a lot of excitement in the air in this town with huge downtown BORDER BASH parties in the park and stuff. No, I won't be attending any parties, but I will be supporting our Gamecocks from home tomorrow! Woo-Hoo! Get out your pom-poms!
