CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Red White and Blue Celebration

 Good Morning, Stampers!

As we step into this week’s Create with Stampin’ Friends Saturday Blog Hop, our theme is one that fills my heart with sparkle—America’s 250th birthday! What a milestone. What a moment. What a beautiful reason to gather our photos, ticket stubs, parade snapshots, fireworks glimmers, and all those tiny treasures that make a celebration unforgettable.

 Preserve your own memories from America’s 250th birthday in a way that feels heartfelt, joyful, and uniquely yours. Handmade pages have a magical way of turning moments into heirlooms!

Simple Mini Accordian Album

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Memory keeping is more than traditional scrapbooking. This accordion mini album is an approachable project for paper crafters at any experience level who want a quick, meaningful way to highlight a loved one or a single event. With just a few photos and a bit of journaling, you can create a standalone keepsake —for you or as a thoughtful, heartfelt gift! 

This accordion mini album has six pockets, but you can easily adjust the design to include fewer or more. Each finished pocket measures 3-1/8" x 5"  and holds a 3" x 5" tag. 

To create the album:

1. For each pocket, start with a 3-5/8" x 10"  piece of designer paper and score it at 1/4"  and 3-3/8"  on the short side, and at 5" on the long side.
2. Assemble each pocket with Tear & Tape Adhesive, then join them by placing a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive down the center between pockets to form the accordion.
3. Create six 3" x 5"  tags and put them in the pockets.
4. Wrap a piece of 7-1/2" x 2-3/8" designer paper around the album and adhere the ends together to create a belly band.

Dollar Store Stampin' Up! Style - Graduation Album

Good Morning, Stampers!

I found these little metal tins in the

craft section of the store. I combined one of

these with the Covid-19 Giveback for a 

fun little graduation keepsake. 

2/$1 is a smokin' deal, too! 

Make one to keep and give one as a gift!

There is the top of the container and the inside of the

bottom of the container. I love those toilet paper rolls!!!

I added these circles using the Layering Circle

dies along a large piece of glitter ribbon.

You can make it as long as you want. I added the stitched

stars in between to fill the space.

This is one side....

This is the back side......

This is the inside of the lid and the ribbo
