Together Matchbook Album

I am trying to patiently wait for the new Stampin' Up! Fall Winter catalog to appear. This time is full of both excitement and sadness - excited to see all of the new stamp sets and accessories, but sad to see some of my favorite stamp sets retiring. So, I am distracting myself by making more mini albums.

This matchbook album is made with the Petals and Paisleys Double Sided Designer Series Paper in the Spring Mini catalog. The cover of this mini album is made from the striped sheet that is printed with the together. I thought it was perfect for a matchbook album, and the word together defined the album subject. The decoration is a flower made from 6 different paper strips punched using the Word Window punch, then trimmed at each end. The flower center is a clear button backed with the pink and with polka dot paper, then some white grosgrain threaded through the holes and tied.

The inside pages were all done with the Petals and Paisleys paper, the Round Tab Punch, Soft Subtles Brads, The Rough Edge Mini Alphabet, Everydya Flexible Phrases Stamp Set and the Little Reminders tin of Accent And Elements self-adhesive die cuts.
