Summer Fun with May Arts, Little Yellow Bicycle and Xyron

Today we are making some fun! How about hosting a crafty get together and create some fun accordion Mini Albums? That's just where I got the inspiration for these projects. My girlfriends and I have a monthly crafty get together- we are actually doing a round robin swap and these get togethers are where we "hand off" our swap to the next gal. We usually have a fun make and take we do and this month my dear friend Erin came up with a little bunting project. Now we made ours with lace and tulle-but mine was made of my stash of May Arts ribbon! My mini was made with Little Yellow Bicycle's Poppy Collection  and I put it all together with my Xyron Mega Runner and Create a Sticker 2.5. The album is SUPER easy to make and I included a quick video tutorial on how to make it! Have fun!

{here are my goodies!}

{Erin used her Mason jars for lemonade-I chose to use it as a vase. I have to admit I love anything in a Mason jar}

{The great thing about this little bunting is that I can reuse my ribbon at anytime! Just un-loop and press the wrinkles out! Win-Win!}

{These little books are so fun to make and great for little pictures!}

{so fun to open, it explodes with color and fun!}

{I like to keep it a little simple on the inside, espicially where the folds are}

{Here is one half- I used my Xyron Create A Sticker 2.5 inch to run my ribbon through}

{Don't you just love that oversized ric-rac from May Arts??}

{And the back can be done too!}

Now let's make and album!
