Summer of Color Grand Finale - warning! Long Post

So as you know, I have been playing in the Summer of Color Challenge over at Kristin's blog, Twinkle Twinkle Like a Star.  For the end, we are having a show and tell.  So i have really been struggling with how I wanted to do this and I finally decided on this mini album.  As usual, I was browsing on YouTube for an unusal way to display my projects and I found this fabulous little album page that Elsa from Just a Few Designs created herself.  I recently found Elsa on a blog hop, I think, and she just has some amazing ideas and fun projects.  If you go to her wegsite, there is a link for her YouTube.  This is called her Mini One Page Binding album and I just love it. 

Okay, now for the pictures.  I wish I could do a video of this because it would be so much easier to show it, but I do not own a video camera except for my digital camera and I have not a clue how to turn those videos into something here.  So there a lot of pictures but i will make most of them small. 

 Here is the album put together.  Was not sure the ribbons were going to work, but i really like them and it works great!  My next toy is going to have to be some kind of album binder like a Cinch :)

 Another picture of it kind of fanned out.  That flower i made from another Youtube video from pinkaboo6691.  She said she got it from http://www.dawnsstampingthoughts.net/.  I am not sure the name of the flower.  But it is so easy and i made it using all 8 of the colors we used for the challenge. 

 Here are all 8 pages on the front side. 

 and the back side

 And then these next pictures show some of the pages opened up to show the projects inside

 I added tags with color quotes on them in the little pockets created with the album pages.

This is the inside of the front cover so you can see the paper I used for the inside cover - has all of the colors we used except for purple.  Here you can also see how pretty the ribbons look holding the book together!

So i hope you like my final project for Summer of Color!  i actually really love it and plan to make more of these little albums - they are perfect!  I am going to miss this weekly challenge, but guess what!? We will be doing it again next year!  Yay!  Thanks to Kristin and all of her helpers for putting this together. 

God Bless and Hugs,
