File folder BD gift

This is a BD gift mini album, made for my cousin Omayra.  Happy  Birthday "Payasita".

I learned this manila file folder mini from Mzjezzb's, her blog is http://thatzuneek.blogspot.com.  I think this is a great idea, for those occasions when you want to do and say something more that just a BD card.  It also allows the person to collect pictures and create their own memories.  I think that is awesome!!  I will upload a video later this week for this project on my YT channel which is ndiaz1969.  Thanks for coming and smiling with me. 

I used my hand made porcelain flowers, and also covered the lower section using a piece of wall paper decoration trim, that I fussy cut.  As you can see here, it goes perfectly with the designer paper used.  I am smiling at this project because I used all my fav colors.  ;-)   

 This is a piece beads spray I have, and it match perfectly in this project.  The green flower doesn't have a center...ups!!  yes  but on purpose!  In recognition that not everything is perfect and differences are not disabilities but possibilities.  Viva!!!!!   people with disabilities.   In your honor my friends!!  I try to do things like this on my projects to keep me aware and create conscious.

This is an original creation of my....Umbrellas.  I have always been a fan of umbrellas.  So I made my own.  I search on YT and on the web for tutorials and couldn't find any, so if you know of any one who does them..please let me know, I would love to learn other techniques.  For now, this is my version.  I used fabric, fabric doilies and pieces of wood sticks and pipe cleaners.  I have used them on other projects before and I have two versions of umbrellas, a closed one ( illustrated here), and an opened one.   I am very proud that this is a personal creation.  

This is how the project looks when is opened in full.  It accommodates 4 pockets for tags, (which I made and personalized for her) and 4 areas for pictures.  That's her assignment, jijiji  ;-)  

I love you mamita!!!! Hope you like it as much as I do, to place it in your desk, as a reminder of the blessing of life celebration.   Another year!!!!!!
