Oh Happy Day Folio

 

Another winning tutorial from France Long over at Your Book Of Memories!

I used the Oh Happy Day! collection by Simple Stories for this folio. 

This paper collection is so bright and cheerful, I love it!

On the cover I used some of the chipboard pieces and one of the cut-parts. 

 

On the back cover I used another cut-apart from the collection and some of the chipboard hearts. 

 

For my tie closure, I took some white seam binding and dyed it with some evergreen bough distress ink from Tim Holtz. 

 

On the front and back cover I used some black washi tape from Tim Holtz.

It has a little sparkle to it. 

 

This book measures around 5-1/2 inches wide by 8-1/2 inches tall.

On the right side there's a flap that opens to the right and to the left.

 

When the right flap opens there are two smaller flaps that open to show a small pocket with a journaling tag. There's also a waterfall that holds eight photos. 

 

 

The left side opens to reveal a pocket.

 

This pocket holds a booklet that has eight pages for journaling or photos can be added.

 

 

The next section has a small pocket with a photo mat.

 

There's also a large pocket that houses a larger photo mat.

The next page has another pocket that holds another photo mat. 

 

When this page is opened to the left it reveals another waterfall that will hold five photos.

There's also a page for two small photos. 

Even though I've make larger books, I much prefer creating smaller ones. It's not that they're easier, I just love how you can pack so much into such a small book. 

This book would be perfect for just random photos of everyday life. There are so many fun sentiments in this collection that will look great added on top of photos once they are adhered to the photo mats. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
