A gift for my daughter who loves to journal and travel. Cover is a kraft mailing packet and most pages are random papers picked up from thrift shops.
 |
| tied with a silk sari ribbon, which is recycled from Indian saris |
 |
| some Tim Holtz paper - not a fan of using "designer" papers but it fits the travel theme |
 |
| repurposed billing envelope using the flap as the pocket |
 |
| real stamp reused | rubber bands inked and stamped in corners | family photo from 1940's |
 |
| tags from 7 gypsies that I've had forever |
Challenged myself to only use paper scraps as well as random stickers and other odds-n-ends for this folded mini album with eight pockets. The only whole piece of paper used is for the base of the album as it needs to be a complete 12x12 sheet of sturdy scrapbook paper. (No waste there!) No other materials are used.
 |
| front cover has part of a bookmark and cut ribbon that didn't work for a previous project |
 |
| front of fold out with four lower pockets and tabs peeking out of the top pockets |
 |
| back of the fold out with four corner tuck pockets |
 |
| top pocket tags |
 |
| tabs at the top are made from a Stamping Up! tab punch I found at a local charity shop - happy day |
 |
| cards for lower pockets |
 |
| back of cards - used a thrift store rubber "memo" stamp |
Mix of album space with journaling areas for my pre-teen granddaughter, including a special four generation album of women's photos (as teens) with brief profiles made into mini "books". Also included is a small bullet journal, a small sketch pad, journaling cards and a fold-out memory album. For privacy reasons most family photos not posted here.
Majority of papers and trims are repurposed from a second hand store.
