Butterfly Albums

My friend, Wendy, and I spent Friday night making these albums out of old file folders from her office that were no longer needed.

Left Album paper-CTMH Grace, Middle Album paper-Basic Grey Romani Dali; Right Album paper-My Mind’s Eye Kaleidoscope; Stickles in various colors; Pink, Green & Clear round rhinestones-Heidi Swapp; Yellow rhinestones-Kaiser; misc pearls

Each book measures 10" x 7" and contains enough pages to make a dozen layouts with a hard back.

Hope you like them as much as I did!

A little instructions: use a Cricut Expressions with deep blade & Indie Art cartridge; cut file folder in half along the bend; insert one half of folder into machine on mat; select the butterfly & fit to page, note max size & round DOWN to nearest whole inch; set cut size to that whoe inch number for all of your cuts, this way they will all be the same; cut number of file folders as you would like pages in your book, you are only limited to the size of the rings you get to hold it together; there you go, that's the basic book. Since I was giving these to friends as gifts, I went ahead & decorated just the front cover for them, they can do the inside of the book how they want it to be
