Bloggers Challenge - Mother's Day

Happy Friday, welcome to another weekly Bloggers Challenge. This weeks challenge was to create something for Mother's Day - this could be for Mom/Aunt/Sister/Grandma. I've been wanting to make a Concertina Booklet for along time, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

I didn't put anything in the openings, but it would be a great place for pictures, or to add some journaling. I also thought about Die Cutting some Butterflies and adding those to the book, but needed to get my post up. If I make any changes, I'll be sure to photograph them and post here on my blog.

The inside pages were all stamped using Fifth Avenue Floral, in Pacific Point, Baja Breeze and Sahara Sandy. For the outside cover I adhered a piece of Parisian Breeze DSP to Chocolate Chip, then to the Sahara Sand base. Stamped my Fifth Avenue Floral image in Chocolate Chip on Baja Breeze, cut out different panels, sponged the edges and popped them up on dimensionals. I used White Satin Ribbon to tie my book shut, the ribbon slides under the Rose and ties at the side.

Here's pictures of the inside and a view from the top, so you can see what it looks like when opened. Be sure to click the photo's for a larger view.

I think this would make a wonderful Wedding Album too, or even done up in pinks and blues for a baby.

ETA - I've had a few people ask me for directions - I don't have time to write them up in a post today with pictures. Check back next week - I should have them up then. If you don't have my blog bookmarked, just click on the "Follow my Blog" or "Subscribe to my Blog" for updates, so you don't miss the post. Thanks!
