Another project in the works

Here's what I worked on last night. It's a Christmas mini-album using paper I had leftover from last year. I hope to finish it this evening or later this week. I'm still not sure what I will put on the cover, but have plans to decorate the pockets with Cricut cuts (snowflakes, reindeer, ornaments, trees, etc). I used Laura's technique for an accordion binding in the middle; you can find the tutorial on her blog, Following the Paper Trail. I changed it slightly in that I adhered my pages to the binding, rather than using what she calls "pressure-fit" or something which allows the pages to be removable. I'll describe my changes in detail later, especially after I see whether it's sturdy. Hopefully you can't tell that I messed up and did a patch job or two. This book will likely be just for me, so I can experiment as I choose. Last night I got all the pages and pockets assembled. Now I need to work on tags and decorations.



Two pictures of the binding and lining.




There are seven pages made of No. 10 envelopes.


You can see a pocket on the left.


There's plenty of room to fill it up with tags and embellishments.
