Mini folio, one sheet wonder

This is one of my favorite projects to make. The design is by idaizee (see her youtube channel here). I love her simple, yet impactful, ideas! You can use one 12x12 paper (cut into 4 pieces), or four 6x6 sheets for this one, which is what I have done here. This is one I have made more than once. It's so much fun to decorate. 

Tuck pocket inside front cover, with tags; pocket on the right, with tag.
Pocket on the left; tag on the right.
Tag on left for journaling, photo, or whatever; full size pocket on the right with pocket opening and tag behind.
Back view
Tags for the pocket pages.


p.s. Please forgive the awful photos - the lighting here is atrocious. 😒

#the12daysofjunkmas, last one

Well, guys, this is the final project I was able to complete for The 12 Days of Junkmas. I do have a couple other things partially complete, but they'll have to wait as I'm away from crucial crafting supplies and tools for the time being. It's so hard to know what to pack in the craft bag when you're going to be gone from the studio for so long. Sigh. I am very thankful to be able to bring anything with me though, so I'm not at all complaining. 

For this tag book, which will be bound with a ring instead of twine once I get home, is made from (can you take a guess?) tp rolls and paper towel roll! Naturally, I forgot to get pics of the before. Why do I always forget that part?? Anyway, each one is cut by hand even though I have a gazillion dies at home in the craft room. LOL 


Some of these goodies have been in my Christmas stash for years, and I'm so happy to have gotten to use some of them for this project.





Thanks for looking. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

More fun with junk. This one is another piece made from the wheat thins cracker box. I used another box as a template (see photo below) which I love doing with acetate packaging like this one that held washi tapes. At some point I'm sure I'll use the acetate box too, but for now it makes a great template.

These yummy cluster pieces started as a mailing envelope. I literally squealed when I opened it because of the corrugated padding on the inside. Truth be told, I was more excited about the envelope than its contents! My husband doesn't get it, but I know my crafty friends will! 😆

Oh, I had fun with this one. I used a wheat thins cracker box to create the tag box, and Simple Stories Vintage Fresh Snow for the design elements. It turned out even better than I anticipated and I love it! Hope you're inspired.
