Star Album Instructions
"These Star albums instructions are a great, glad I found them"
Star albums are awesome mini albums that open up into a star shape that you
can open and display nicely on your mantle. If you add a ribbon closure it will
sit nicely and makes a great talking piece around the coffee table. They are
heaps of fun to make as well but they can take up a fair bit of of
your cardstock and patterned paper so make sure you have plenty before you get
started.
