Matchbook Scrapbook

Last year I had the absolute pleasure of going to the Founder's Circle incentive trip to St. George, Utah. I met many fabulous women there. One was Dawn Raspas who started UStamp. U Stamp is a group of designers who make wonderful projects. Go check it out!

One of the project tutorials is a Matchbook Album (because it folds up like a matchbook.) This album was 12 inches long, and had a lot of spots for wonderful pictures!

Well, I made this album, and then found that I didn't have enough pictures to really do the album justice, so I cut it right in half. Using the tabletop paper cutter, I just sliced it. Now I have an album to give a friend, and this gorgeous one for myself!

I used the Sunny Garden DSP. I was so sad to see the Cottage Wall DSP leave the last catalog, and now here it is just with different colors! Hooray! I have at least one more year with the beautiful designs on this lovely paper. I filled the album with pictures of my Anna Monster. She is obsessed with butterflies, so this theme really does fit her. I love making small scrapbooks like this with my leftover pictures that didn't make it into a scrapbook page. My kids really like that they can hold these, flip them open, and show their friends. This is also a perfect project to make with your kids.

The inside of this scrapbook holds up to 9 pictures (I made it so it holds 7). Want to see?
