I just love this file and it makes a wonderful gift for so many reasons.  I chose to make mine for Mother's Day and use my favorite colors for the papers to decorate.  You Can find the file here http://www.creativekuts2.com/item_105/Box-Album.htm

Box & Album

Inside of Album

Left side album close up

Right side album close up

So for the Box front I used part of the Frannies fluttering hearts file http://creativekuts.com/Frannies-Fluttering-Hearts-FFH329.htm  Now this file has a lot more to it with beautiful scrolls and cutouts, you can check it out by clicking the link above.  I added some loopy ribbon I adhered behind the heart which matches the loopy ribbon I lined inside of the box I also added a metal plate and used Scal to cut out MOM.  On the Accordian Album cover, I used the beautiful Lily Flower from CK which can be found here http://creativekuts.com/Lily-Flower-LF1117.htm  There is also a tutorial video for this Lily at http://youtu.be/rokxz25WSDg
I added some metal pieces with my purple ribbon threaded through to accent the front.
On the inside of my album I just made some pretty cutout frames to embellish  and I used my cuttlebug to emboss the inside of each frame.  The small journaling area's I did not emboss so it would be easier to write on.

Please leave a comment here and be a follower of this blog to qualify for my Blog candy which is a $9 Gift certificate to www.creativekuts2.com
