This post is a bit photo-heavy (8 or 9 piccies I think) so I do apologise for that.
Anyways... I thought I'd share one page of the mini-album I'm making - it's all made from scraps and leftovers from previous projects (as I'm in a super-frugal frame of mind!). So far I've made 5 pages, 2 envelope pages, and 2 chopped pages... this is a 'chopped' page - so called just because it's smaller than the main pages. As it's all made from scraps and stash-finds, I thought I'd enter into Pixie's Crafty Snippets (week 57) and try to win a little prize too. The prize is just a bonus - the fun part is seeing what other people can do with leftovers and 'snippets' from their crafty stash. Pop over to Pixie's Crafty Workshop and have a go :)
So... here's my page - the front:
The red patterned flap opens up to reveal a journalling spot and a photo mat...
The photo mat is just held onto the page by a band and a small semi-circle piece of card, and slips out easily so you can see the pretty paper underneath...
Next, another photo mat will be revealed if you pull the journalling spot upwards and out of the pocket...
Turn the folder over and there's a journalling spot...
This opens up each side to reveal another photo-mat and two more journalling spots...
Now onto the back of the original page - the pocket... showing yet another pocket with another photo-mat...
The phot-mat can be taken out completely to show the papers underneath.
All the photo mats can hold photographs 6x4" - I've tried to keep all the spaces for photos as large as I could, and then used smaller spaces and tags for journalling.
I'm trying not to throw out any pieces or scraps of patterned card until the project is finished - and then using all the small pieces within the project. It's easier than I thought it would be so far - especially with so many pockets that are matted with small pieces of the patterned paper, and I've also made quite a few pages where a photo mat is held to the page with a simple band of card and a half-oval at the bottom of the page.
So... a crafty snippet.
Don't forget to pop over to Pixie's Place and join in :)
