Safari Coffee Table Concertina Mini Album!



Hello BoBunny Fans! It's Denise here today, to show you the Safari Coffee Table Concertina Mini Album I created.

In December we had gone to visit my Mother-in-Law, on the family farm, Redhill.  It is a game farm and situated right in the middle of the African Bush.  I wanted to have a little reminder of this visit, on the coffee table.

I had this gorgeous, little wood box and had the idea to create a concertina mini album, which could fit inside the box.

I cut strips of BoBunny card stock and then folded and joined them to make the concertina album. So when opening the box, you see this, first page, inside.

This is what the album looks like on the one side.

I used stamps, noteworthy bits, stickers, buttons and jewels to create interest, without adding too much bulk.  I also used a white pen to outline some of the photo's.

Below you can see the join.  I used washi tape for the cardstock join.

The block patterned paper was perfect for this album and I just had to trim the blocks down a bit.

This is the last page of the 1st side, before we flip over to the other side.

I kept the styling simple because I wanted the photo's to be the focus.

The Safari Collection was perfect to showcase our African Adventure.

This little concertina album was really quite easy to make and a great way to showcase some of our holiday photo's and memories.
