Mini Pocket Scrapbook


This is a mini scrapbook that I shared at a recent club.
Rather than using envelopes to make a pocket scrapbook,
I took strips of paper and folded them, leaving a "tab"
to attach the pages together.

Products used included:
Colors: Vanilla Card Stock, Red Glimmer Paper,
Pool Party Core'dinations paper
Set: Bitty Banners
Big Shot: Hearts a Flutter Framelits,
Borders Scoring Plate for Simply Scored,
Bitty Banners Framelits   
   

This is an open view, showing the pocket inserts.
The tabs were made with the Hearts A Flutter
Framelits.

Oh Hello Thanks

I am enjoying the Spring Mini Oh, Hello set very much.
I didn't think that it was "my style", until I started creating.
The Chevron Embossing Folder coordinates
extremely well with this set, duplicating the
zig zag pattern of the background image.

Colors:  So Saffron, Midnight Muse Marker,
 Always Artichoke Marker, Whisper White

Other:  Oval Framelits,  Needlepoint Border
Embossing Folders, Gold Brad

Secret Garden Leaf Negataive

This leaf pattern was produced with the
leaf from the Secret Garden Framelits. 
A square from the Scallop Square Die was
used with the framelit.  Old Olive DSP was
then mounted behind the cut-out.
A piece of Pink Pirouette/Rose Red 1 1/4 
Two-Tone ribbon was knotted with twine and
fastened to the stem.
A sentiment from Curly Cute was added to 
a Whisper White layer and then run through the
Dotted Embossing Folder.

Clear Stamp Set Storage

Thought that I'd share a storage strategy that I
recently discovered.  These are DVD racks sold by Best Buy 
for $7.99.  They hold 25 DVD cases.  Best Buy also
sells a floor version that holds 50 cases. 
They are very useful because you can store numerous
clear mount sets in a small footprint.
