Folding Pages

This one is so fun. Its a great way to use up small photos or do some awesome journaling that is a little hidden.

What am I talking about. Well instead of talking if I show you I know you will be able to make your own pages.
Here is a page that I made of my son Adam. Although he absolutely hates his pictures. I adore them! As you can see there is one side of the layout that is folder over. To do this is so simple, you just adhere a piece of paper to the side of your layout. You can decorate the inside anyway you want. Well then again, let me just show you

Here is the inside of that flap that I was talking about! As you see I put one of those little photos that you have to crop down. Another great idea would be to use a school wallet picture inside also. I had to write all my mushy mommy stuff on the inside and he is quite grateful that we can "Cover it up" so no one else can see! Oh well when I am dead and gone, he might appreciate all the Mommy loves you stuff. The important thing is how I decorated the inside of the flap! Don't be afraid to do just Write just about anything in there No one is going to see it that you don't invite to see it.


I have one more to show you. I actually did a class with this. It was absolutely a blast. I showed my layout, gave them their papers and of coursed showed how to put it together. Then I let them go. With a few suggestions and a lot of enthusiasm from each other, these ladies created some gorgeous layouts. Of course you are stuck with the layout that I did of myself for my "About Me" album.


Oh the photo's are horrible, but that is not the important part of this, once again its how its put together.

This is a layout is made with photos that I shot of myselves. Long story short, Adam and I were fooling around with the CAMERA!
Anyway there were a few photos that would make a good layout and being a scrapaholic any picture that is OK is good enough to scrap.



Here again, I created a flap and wrote about me in this one.
You can do just about anything inside. I love the look of these layouts and the idea that you can make it a hiding journaling or put some more photos in there and embellish it to the fullest!

I love my albums filled with different layouts and different styles! If you have a unique style that you would love to share I sure would like to see it.
Just send it to me at debbie@accents2scrapbooking.com Can't wait to see what you do!
