I like the process of making accordion cards, but don't often the concept of a theme to fill one. I made one for my brother's 40th, and he said it was the best thing he got for his birthday, but at least for that I had photos through the years and a theme. And I made another one when I minded my best friend's little daughter while she was away for a couple of months. Each week Anna dictated to me her summary of what we had done, and then I had things she could colour and stick in herself. It was a great way for her to see the time passing till her mum would be back again, as the little album got fuller.
Anyhow, for today's challenge I decided to use some of my bird photos. I made the covers from chipboard covered with My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow. I added a scalloped and plain oval cut from the same papers, and added Liquid Pearls in each indent. I added a bird with the Two-Step Bird punch - the branches are the same paper as my inner pages, and the bird is Core'dintations WhiteWash range, embossed with Textiles and sanded. I used the same for the corners. I embossed a chipboard letter with white EP and wrote Birds on it with a Sakura Glaze pen. Before gluing the pages into the covers I stuck green organza ribbon down. Printed and cut eight photos, and to keep it simple, all I added on the pages was some flourishes with Versamark.
I don't know what on earth I'll do with this, but it certainly was fun to make. Thanks, Dawn .
