Crcut Circle Challange - Tic Tac Toe entry

The May Challange at the Circle Blog is to come up with a project from a list of options in a Tic Tac Toe list.  You needed to select 3 options in a row (I haven't inserted the option list).  I selected the 3rd row for my entry.  They include 1.) Use a CUT flower shape, 2.) Use a Cuttlebug to Emboss, and 3). Use any patterned paper printer on the IMAGINE.

I've been needing to make a book for my parents 50th Anniversary Party, so I thought this contest would help inspire me.  We are all writing personal letters to my Mom and Dad, and I wanted to make something very special to put the lettes in.  I decided on a 6x6 mini album.

The front cover has gems on it and some silk flowers from Michaels.

I used the last shape on the Lacy Labels Cart to make the 2 layers for the photo on the left and MS Seasonal Cake Art for the "Mom and Dad" cut.

I used a Spellbinders Die to cut and emboss the shape on the right.  The bottom layer of the flowers (Mothers Day - Seasonal 2010) and all the photo background layers are cut from paper I printed on the Imagine More Cartridge.  I used that same paper for the butterfly also, but I used glitter and embossing powder on it, so it looks like totally different paper.

For the envelope "Pages" by I cut 6x12 pieces of cardstock and folded them in half.  I then made flaps out of a corresponding cardstock and glueed it to the back of that pape, creating an envelope.  I secured the flaps with small circles and string, then put each person's name on each envelope.  We will just tuck the letters inside each page.  They are all done alike, but this will shows a little sample of the variety.  On the left of each page is the Imagine More photo base and an embossed top piece where I'll put picutures of everyone. 

Thanks for letting me share!
