Good morning!
Today's project is a little different than the usual but I really love it!
Years ago Angelica Turner did a special class at our local
store and this type book was one of the projects....I saved it and made a pattern for today's project, so Angelica, thank you very much my friend!
I used a magnet for the closure (under the paper so that it doesn't show).
Inside there are accordion pages that are decorated front and back.

Instructions:
Card size:
6” X 6” X 1” Start by making the cover
for the Accordion “Book” Cut 1 piece of tan card stock 7 ½ X 6” and 1 piece 9 X
6” tan. Score 7 ½” piece at 6” and 7”
leaving ½” as a glue tab. Score the 9”
piece at 6”and 7” leaving a 2” end. Glue
the ½” tab to the inside of the 6” part of the second piece. Glue one half of magnet set to the 2” piece
on the outside and Tape to let glue set.
Place the other magnet half on
top of taped magnet and put some glue on the top of it, then close cover, open
it again and use the spot of glue left behind as the place to glue the second
magnet half after lifting off first half.
Tape glued magnet half and allow both to dry. Cut Decorative paper for each cover panel
leaving a 1/8” border of tan. Make
accordion pages with 2 pieces of tan card stock 11” X 5 5/8” cut one piece of
tan card stock 1” X 5 5/8” then score and fold
in half to glue page sections together.
Score both 11 X 5 5/8” pieces at 5 1/2” and glue the two together using
the 1” folded tab. Cut Decorative paper
to cover each side of each page. Die cut
“scene” square, using the Cut Mat Create 2A, from the front cover panel then
cut a piece of Fun Foam the same size square to fit. Glue the squares together. Glue all decorative paper pieces onto cover
and pages including the front, replacing the now popped up square in the center
square opening. Tabs will be covered and
so will the magnets.
Stamp, die cut and color 1 set of deer, 2 sets of
bunnies, 1 set of squirrels, 2 sets of
cardinals, misc. small blossoms from Wildwood, Rain boots and Blossoms,
coneflowers, The large Coneflower corner, tall Coneflower, birds on umbrella
(Songs of Spring), and the Just for You banner. Cut from tan card stock, 3 Blossom Corners,
3 small Fleur pockets and 2 large Fleur pockets, 1 Ornate Border, 1 border from
the Cut Mat Create .
Start with the inside pages, decorate with pockets and
blossoms plus wildlife here and there on all pages, both sides. Using the Luggage and Tag die, cut tags for
all the pages, stamping with sentiments or leaving blank for writing. Add fiber or ribbon to the top of each tag
and insert into pockets. Add fibers to
the book binding and then add a small tag on one of the pieces of fiber hanging
down the side. This could have your book
title if desired. The final part of this
project is to decorate the front. The
paper including raised center should already be glued down, now glue 2 borders
top and bottom of raised center (from Cut Mat Create and Ornate Pockets and
Borders). Add all pieces of Coneflower
corner and tall Coneflower to go around raised center like a big letter “U”.
This border is popped up in places. Add
the Banner snuggled in one corner and then add the 2 birds from Songs of Spring,
1 on each side at the top. Add glitter to flower petals (I thinned some glue
with water and brushed it onto petals then sprinkled with glitter).

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,
And You are exalted as head over all.

Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
