Father’s Day accordian scrapbook in a box.

June 30th, 2008

I showed a sneak peak of this right before Father’s Day, but I couldn’t show the whole project or any of the photos inside the album cause my dad reads my blog!  (Hi Pops)  I must say, from his reaction I think he rather liked my little Father’s Day scrapbook.  It’s a little Petaloo accordian scrapbook that came in a little box for gift giving, but I altered the outside of the box also to be the album cover and used adhesive to attach the book inside so it unfolds out of the box when you open it.  Here’s what it looks like lying flat on my counter.

Here are a few views of the pages closer up while lying flat.

Here it is standing up and opened on display.

Here it is just opened and unfolding out of the box.

and the last bit unfolding out of the book.

 Here are closer views of the individual pages.  These were so hard to do because they’re only 4 x 4 inches.  So really your photo takes up the whole space and there’s not much room for a lot of “scrap crap.”  I tried to keep it as simple as I could so the focus would stay on the photos.

The book cover and spine can be seen in my previous post in the link at the beginning of this post.  I think I’ll put these up for sale for $20 as a custom order in different themes in my etsy shop at www.summerrosescrapbooks.etsy.com

    Hey babe! That was a LOT of freaking WORK you did! I hope it was appreciated!

    What did I do??? I got too many speeding tickets. They were all BS, just before you start lecturing, and I got out of them, sort of. (And a lot of $$$ later.)

    BTW…I keep meaning to tell you your cards are out, the brochures are AWESOME and people are taking them! WOO HOO!!!!
