Travelers Notebook - Concertina fold

Technically, it's Adele's (Inky Quills) fault because I

have watched her whip these folds up a few times.

Effortlessly.

Therefore, I thought why not give it awhirl.

How hard can it be.

Well....

It's tricky especially if one's fingers aren't real nimble.

Also, I used wet glue and couldn't figure

out which side the clue should go.

I'll watch the vid again.

I double backed this page because the front looked

weird to me. 

Not quite as um uniform shall we say.

Anyway, using the colors from the tissue paper

more or less, I die cut the and punched

the flowers. Buttons galore on the buttons

and sequins. .

And the canning jar just was soooo neat.

I stamped it in grey on mixed media paper and

thought I would stamp flowers on it.

And for some reason I fail to remember, it didn't work.

You can see the stems down there soooo

I added some butterflies and a saying.

I am really happy with that.

It surprised me.

So what to do with the back side of the concertina fold and

not be too much of a copy cat because I love

that flower page.

Anyway some TH to the rescue (which caused me to sort

a bunch of stuff out - because I thought tossing

everything together in one big bin

was a good idea) and found some really fun

ephemera to work in.

But first, I created that background page from Dristress Inks,

assorted stamps in the background. 

That was a lot of fun to do...

And the sentiment is sooooo true.

I love doing filler pages and it's been especially fun since

I quite worrying about storage and space.
