For today's Scor-Pal project with the fabulous Autumn Splendor collection from Die Cuts With a View I decided to use the new Scor-Envi tool to create an envelope album.
You start with 9 1/2" squares of cardstock/paper (as per the instructions on the Scor-Envi tool)
Following the instructions on the tool score at 2 3/4 and 9 1/4, rotate a 1/4 turn and repeat. Burnish the scored lines and snip the small triangle away (I find it makes a cleaner corner if you do this)
Using the 1/8" Scor-Tape attach 3 of the flaps to form the envelope
Using the 1/2" Scor-Tape attach the flaps of 3 of the envelopes to form the album leaving one open at the top.
Fold the envelopes into the album pattern you wish and burnish the folds again to form crisp folds.
Using a punched strip of cardstock 12" by 1" score between each scallop and mid way on each scallop (the distance will vary depending on which punch you use for the decoration). Attach the ends of the strip together (I like to use hot glue) and form the circle into a rosette.
Make a "belly band" to hold the album together with cardstock and add the rosette as the decoration.
Decorate as you wish, I made decorated inserts for each pocket, ready to add photos to.
This is what it looks like completed.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that they will inspire you and your Fall crafting.
I printed the image twice and colored and cut one out and popped it up. To match the height of the image I used layered sticker embellishments and also popped the sentiment up too.
He looks so sweet dressed as Santa and I'm sure you can "Pop" a Christmas card and share with us at Christmas Card Challenges this week.

Well I can't believe we are at yet another Friday, where are the weeks going?
As it is Friday that means a card using an image I have won.
This one comes from a great win at Sentimental Sundays where I won images from Bugaboo
This was one of the super cute images I chose from my prize.
Now this may or may not be my last Halloween card for 2012, I must admit to having loved all the fabulous Halloween images and papers around this year, I've made way more this year than before and it will be hard to say goodbye to this Holiday.
We are throwing a Halloween party tomorrow night, the first one we have done, and I have gone all out with lots of fun things to eat, drink and play! Fingers crossed that it all goes down well.
Card Recipe:
Image - Hween Brat by Bugaboo
Sentiment - Beary Scrap
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Bewitched by DCWV
Tree and Fence Die Cut - Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up
Grass Die Cut - Cheery Lynn Designs
Glitter - Stickles and Recollections Extra Fine
Accents - Walmart
Ribbon - Hobby Lobby
I think I may have been a little glitter heavy but with the dark colors I didn't want my little pumpkin girl to be scared so I gave her plenty of sparkle!
I hope you liked this one, it was nice to make an easel card for a change instead of my usual single fold cards.
Be sure to pop back this weekend, there is a Pink Gem card tomorrow and a Christmas Card Challenges card on Sunday!

EDITED TO ADD - Made the Top 3 at Twisted Tuesday - THANKS SO MUCH!!
I hope you have been following the fabulous projects over at the Scor-Pal Blog this week as all the designers have been working with the fabulous Autumn Splendor papers from Die Cuts with a View!
Today they are featuring my project along with a project from the super talented Diane Zechman!
With this gorgeous Fall weather I hope you are having you are probably taking extra photos and one of my projects today will help you display some of them, ooh did I leave a hint at what it might be?
Now as a special addition I have an extra project that I made with the same lovely paper stack.
For my project I decided to make rosette banner decoration
Measure 12" by 3" strips of cardstock. Each rosette will take 2 of these strips.
Score between each scallop on the punched edge.
Attach two strips together end by end and then form a circle and make a rosette (like the previous instructions)
Decorate as you wish, I used the accents that came in the paper stack, cut out and just attached the center of each rosette.
Using twine (I used The Twinery twine) attach the rosettes together to form the banner and display.
It's time for a cute card just for me!
I love the sweet stamps from Lili of The Valley and although I don't have many I am trying to grow my collection :) This particular one is a super cute reminder of home to me and so was a perfect choice for my card for me this week.
I liked how easy this image made it to make a slightly shabby chic style card but I couldn't resist adding a little touch of glitter as she is a girl after all :)
I hope you enjoyed this and be back later for a very special extra Scor-Pal surprise project

It's time for another Magnolia-Licious theme challenge at this time we want to see your Halloween creations! So whether scary or sweet as long as you use a Magnolia stamp you could be our winner of the mystery prize!
I decided to go with the spooky but sweet Bat Tilda as the star of my card
I certainly don't think Tilda is going to scare too many people but what is scary is how many fabulous stamps Diana has in stock at Magnolia-Licious, if you haven't been over there recently then you really must do :)
Katie
