St Patrick's Day Accordion Mini Album with Lori Whitlock

Hey friends! Today is Lori Whitlock's March Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you!

For my project, I made a cute accordion style mini album for St. Patrick's Day using one of Lori's fun cutting files. It's perfect for pictures of the holiday, March, spring, or the people you feel lucky to have in your life.🍀

To start, I chose a greeting card file called Shamrock Card 2 and the Echo Park, Happy St. Patrick's Day paper collection (links below).

This little scrapbook is filled with spring colors, leprechauns, rainbows, stripes, and flowers. I added a cute polka dot ribbon to hold the accordion pages together.

To make it, I cut 5 card bases out of white card stock and glued them back to back to create the accordion album.

The cutting file includes a separate inset shape for the front of the card, so I cut out 10 of them in different colors and patterns for the pages.

I added the inset pieces to each page, then decorated with lots of cute stickers and photo mats.

To make the shaped photo mats, I used a 3" scallop circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch by Marvy Uchida (links below).

This little scrapbook would be great for photos of a festival, a parade, everyone wearing green, a traditional dinner of corned beef & cabbage, an evening with friends at an Irish pub, green beer, green cocktails, Irish whiskey, or Irish coffee!

This collection is so pretty ... I just love all the flowers, tiny polka dots, and stripes. Perfect for spring!

While I chose a St. Patrick's Day theme, you could use ANY of Lori's card files and any paper collection, and replicate this accordion mini album idea. It would make a sweet gift for Easter, a birthday, Mother's Day, or Father's Day.

There are more wonderful projects to see today, so be sure to hop to each blog for more great ideas!
