Mothers Removable Tag Album

Did anyone guess? It ended up to be a Removable Tag album. My inspiration came from the various albums created by Laura at www.followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com - ya gotta see her cool videos she has for her projects! I knew it was going to be some sort of album but didn't have it down to the final details. Here's the whole project: finished project size is 3-1/2" x 5" x 3/4". Have a hot cup of tea or coffee...this posting is loooong.
Design Options:
- The hanging Grosgrain ribbon is totally optional - still looks great without it but I thought it would a great purse handle.
-Change out the flower and make it with the die cut butterflies...............can you visualize it?
-make this a treat holder (I didn't but you can!)

Left photo: Flap closer view. The Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon used for the handle and is tied into a single knot at top. The Extra Large fancy flower punch is the bottom of layer of the flower base. Pink flower is from the Big Shot Basket & Blooms Die. Leaves are cut from the SU Exclusive Birds and Blooms sizzlit die. Lavender flower is from the SU Exclusive Big Shot Floral Fusion Die. Pink, Old olive color, and Lavender felt can be purchased from your local craft store. Attach flower and leaves using a mini glue dot.
Right photo: "MOM" is cut from the Big Shot Naturally Serif Big Shot die attached using the 2 way glue pen. The Oval scallop is popped with dimensionals onto the album front.

Now we can finally open this album:
Left photo: Velcro is used as the attachment (it's the clear kind so it is THIN!). The grosgrain ribbon is attached inside simply with snail adhesive.
Right photo: Album opened. Inside flaps have room for journaling as well as photos.

Left photo: Tags removed from the album. 3 are decorated with the DSP - the rest of the tags are with solid CS. The tops of the tags are embellished with punched Boho Blossoms flowers and silver brads. Room for photos.
Right photo: The reverse side of the tags are solid CS with a single punched flower. Room for lots of journaling.
