It was a fun gift to make. I got the tin at a scrapbook expo. I have recently seen them at my lss. I cam with a thin white paper folded accordian style inside. I used that as a basic template and cut on out of bazzil cardstock (a color to coordinate with the basic grey line I bought for this). I had to overlap about 3 12x12 sheets to get the amount of pages I wanted. Then I embelished it with the basic grey papers and other embelishments. I stuck the bottom page into the tim using foam stickies to raise it up a little so it doesn't hit the sides too much when it opens. I also put a hinge on the first page with a ribbon tied to it so you can get it out of the tin easily. I used mod podge on the outside and used the papers and similar paint colors and embelishments. That's about it. Thanks for asking!
