Yesterday Karen over at My Desert Cottage received her thank you gift I sent her for helping me beautify my blog. I wanted to share with you what I did!
I saw this tutorial for making a photo wallet on You-Tube by Stampingholly and was so excited about it I couldn't wait to make one!
So after watching the video, this is what I came up with:
This is from one 12 X 12 double side printed scrapbook paper and it's all just folded!
Then you create tags to fit into the pockets.
I'm showing you both sides of the tags...
I recycled tissue boxes and cereal boxes and cut them into tags and covered them with various ephermera.
On the upper left corner of this tag, I found a sticker with a vintage postage image..it's dated February 14,
..Karen's birthday!! ;-)
Here is the back of the same tag. I put to use several rubber stamps, too!
Inside the book is space for two tags. One is tucked into the left and on the right, I glued on a small bag, stamped it with one of my favorite verses and tucked a shipping label tag inside..
Here is the tag that's tucked into the left pocket. I also have a collection of vintage scripture cards and I tucked it in as well.
The other side of the tag..
And here is the back.
A view of the back of yet another tag...
These are SO much fun to make! Hope you give it a try!
This creation is magnificent. You thought of every detail. So nice to meet you, I followed the link here from Karen's blog.
