Thursday 10 minute card challenge Nov 23rd

A few of you have been coming to this blog via WOYWW by mistake and commenting. The blog I do WOYWW on is PHOTOGRAPHY AND ME 
and my craft blog is 
FRUIT SALAD
but thank you for visiting this blog and saying Hi!

I know it's not Thursday but I forgot to release this

on Oct 22 and kept advising everyone that

it was up on my blog hee hee sorry about that.

This is a very cool Scrapbook Tag Book

that I first saw here

only half this project qualifies for the 10minute challenge

that Sandi MacIver and Carole' Anne Sluchinski

do each week

CLICK ON EACH PHOTO TO GET A LARGER VIEW

You will need 1 piece of sturdy 12"x 12" double sided

paper, I used Parisien Breeze Specialty Designer Paper

cut one at 6" x 11 1/2" and scored at 4", 5 1/2", 7", 8 1/2" & 10"

cut a second one at 6" x 7" and score at 4", 5 1/2"

then on plain cardstock to complement the dsp

cut 3 pieces at - 3 3/4" x 4 1/4"

and

cut 3 pieces at - 3 3/4" x 1 1/4"

then

fold the dsp pieces at the score point

overlap the left to the right piece at the folds

and adhere with red liner tape, this

strong tape will hold it together better

this is what it looks like joined together

I lay the cardstock pieces to see how much room I needed,

ok now you see the paper and cs has changed

because the original 12 x 12 paper I used wasn't

as thick and I tore it when scoring

that is why it is better to use a thicker

dsp for the concertina pieces

view from the end

using the corner rounder on two sides of

it took 10minutes up to this point of adhereing etc

from here on end it was downhill LOL

and took me all day to design and position the

rest of the decoration

Stamp on the vellum and adhered the

top with brads

Notice I left a piece on the left to overhang

The underside piece was stamped and embossed in clear

I put double sided tape on the overhang vellum and

adhered it to the back so you cant see the tape

stamped additional star images on vellum

rest of pieces decorated and assembled

adding brads to the words and middle of each snow flake

inside of scrapbook assembled and adhered

again using red liner strong sticky tape

decorating and assembling front of book
