Mini Accordion Album for Liying

Another  "ortang" post..

Create a  mini accordion album for Liying as her birthday giving, using a similar template that I learnt from  Papermarket for YSL's birthday gift.
Of cos, as this album is for Liying, I can use lots of floral and girly embellishments for her album.
Keep it rather simple and stick too natural colours and it will be more suitable for Liying, who in my eye , is not a very fussy and down to earth person.
 So here are the pictures of my final creation.



I wish  I could find more pictures of us taken in the past as our group knew each other for more than 13 years.  It was only as I went to dig out the soft copies of the pics that I realized that the pics I used to upload in "Friendster"(well...nobody use them for the past few years) are all gone as I did not pay attention to the email sent by them, informing that the pics upload will be removed if I don't take any action. Recalled that we did take some pics during our Poly years, but they were taken using the old camera. Can't remember where I put the films... *sheepish*

I had use lots of butterflies for her album, plus pics of other nature themes such as roosters, bird nests and flowers.

Here are the supplies used:


  • Book Cover --  7Gypsies
  • Base paper (2pcs)  -- DCWV Collage Musings Stack
  • Cuts outs from  -- Prima Marketing Songbird Collection "title-it",   Prima Marketing Almanac Collection "Edison",  DCWV Collage Musings Stack,  DCWV Tres Chic Stack
  • Vellum : Dear Lizzy Neapolitan "Lovely Afternoon"
  • Prima flowers
  • Doily
  • Prima's "Say it with Crystals"
  • Mini tag
  • Washi tape from Tim Holtz collection
  • Embellished butter from Jenni Bowlin Studio
  • Lace
  • pearls
There are quite a few more cuts out which I did not manage to trace them. Most of them are from my stash, so  I don't think they are available in the craft stalls now.

2 more mini accordion books to make. Can't wait to see the results!
