Envelope Scrapbook Album
Good Morning Folks! Boy, I've been so stinkin' busy and I'm so behind on everything! This weekend was crazy busy but it's over! Thank goodness.
Anyway. . .I managed to squeeze in time to make this "Envelope Scrapbook Album". If you haven't had a chance to stop by my "Stampin Inspirations" blog site. . .I had posted that I had recently bought a CombBind binding machine. I decided to buy the CombBind rather than a Rubicoil for various reasons. One, I already have a Bind It All binding machine and the other reasons are posted on Stampin Inspirations.
Anyway. . .this album was created using "greeting card" size envelopes (the larger size envelopes. . .is it A6? - not sure). You don't need a binding machine to create this album. You can punch holes to the side and use ribbons or book rings to bind the album together. I decided to bind the album using the CombBind.
I decorated the envelopes with designer paper and various sticker embellishments. Most of the embellishments I used are by "Jolee's Boutique". The designer papers are from DCWV Christmas Collection. After designing the envelopes, I tucked the flap into the envelope and using a 1" circle punch, punched a notch at the center top.

Maria, what a cute idea! I hope life slows down a little for you soon, but I know it's "that time of year".
I love your work! I too am an avid scrapbooker and I am always looking for inspiration to create and organize. I am currently in a contest to win an EZ View desk. It is am amazing piece of furniture. I will buy the workbox if I win the desk. If you like you can view the furniture at the following website and vote for my entry, #274 in the giveaway gallery. Check out my blog for examples of my work sometime soon! Thanks for sharing.
