Childhood Memories

Simon Says Stamp and Show some STARS this week and The Sunday Stamper challenge is BROWN. It is my Nephew's 21st birthday this year so I thought I would make him a special accordion card, something a little different for me as it is more of a scrapbooking theme.

Throughout the accordion I have used Tim's Retro Grunge Paper Stack for the stars in the background. My accordion has a letter on each page which creates DANIEL. I cannot believe how long this took me to make especially with adding hand stitching to a few of the pages.

I used Tim's Film Stip die to encase some of my images along with buttons and vintage ribbons.

I added a crown to this page from the Heart Wings die and stamped a sentiment from Catslife Press that I have had for quite a few years but use it over and over again.

The Heart Wings die has been used for this page along with a row of small brads, which I have to say took me an absolute age to separate at the back LOL, but well worth the effort, I love the metal aspect against such cute adorable images. Rusty metal stars have been added throughout the book along with sentiments from K & Co.

This is the front cover.  I have used the Rosette die and the small pieces of card on the bottom left are the waste from the Film Strip die.  I used my Dymo machine to add LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE and DREAM to each piece.

This is the back of the accordion.

The back cover. The letters are from Tim's Idea-Ology Alpha Parts, I am loving these.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend, Tracy x x
