I made this cute little accordion file purse after reading Maria Bell's tutorial {click here}. It was super easy and I think it will be the perfect thing to hold vacation photos, or maybe even some in-the-car activities for the boys (we usually make up our own games). The colors are from today's color challenge on SCS-- Only Orange, Summer Sun, and Brilliant Blue. Nothing says it better than Lime Rickey :)
I used velcro for the closure. The palm tree is a CuttleKIDS die. For the palm leaves, I cut them out a few times, sponged, colored with Copics, and layered. For the trunk, I lightly embossed with a stylus and then sponged.
Ingredients: Cardstock: Stampin' Up! {Summer Sun, WW, Close to Cocoa}, DP: Basic Grey {Lime Rickey}; Ink: Stampin' Up! {Close to Cocoa, Old Olive}, Die: Cuttlekids; Other : Velcro Dot, Sticky Tape, Dimensionals, Scoring Tool.

You made one! I love the oranges and tropical feel to it, it's such a sweet little project. I have to check out Maria's tutorial for this, the endless possibilities are a great thought. Maybe I could get a jump start on teachers' back to school gifts. :D
