Mini Accordion Album

 Today's project is a mini accordion album that I created using the FREE Mini Accordion Album Class available in the CWS store. I altered mine a bit from the tutorial by making it a little smaller (mine is 4.25" x 4.25") and using printable patterned paper inside instead of plain card stock. 

 Supplies and Tools used on the cover:

• FREE Mini Accordion Album Class 
• Song Birds Stamp Set
• Song Birds Die Set

• Lovely Wreaths Die Set  
• Mixed Media Paper Pad   
• Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink  
• Peacock Feathers Distress Ink (Ranger) 
• Blue Eclectic Junk Journal Digital Paper Pack  (Pink Monarch Prints)

 I've only completed one layout in this album so far,

 but I plan to work on it more in the coming weeks. 

The pages and cover pages use printable papers from the 

Blue Eclectic Junk Journal Digital Paper Pack  (Pink Monarch Prints)

The inside front cover has a little pocket with a removable Scripture circle.

Roses Folio

 I've been into creating little folios of late and decided to use some pretty printable papers from Pink Monarch Prints as my base on this one. I used lots of stamps and dies from Creative Worship Stamps to decorate it and incorporate encouraging messages. 

 I started with a piece of  5.75" x 9.5" card stock that I had printed on both sides with two different papers from the Blue Spring Papers set. I scored it at 2.5" and 6" and folded on the score lines to create my little folio. I added two simple pockets to the inside and filled them with tags and stamped ephemera. 

 All the roses were stamped on mixed media paper, colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens, and splattered with diluted white acrylic paint.

Joy comes in the morning

 

Today's card features the Snowdrops stamp and die set from Creative Worship Stamps. I started by ink smooshing Peacock Feathers distress oxide onto mixed media paper and adding a stenciled design in the same color. Next I spot stamped some music bars and polka dots and added three "you are loved" sentiments. The snowdrops were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens.
