I was browsing You Tube the other day and came across Dawns Inspirations and she has a blog HERE. I was looking for something different to make as I have loads of cards on stock and wanted to make something else. This is what I found or, rather, my version of it. Made from a cereal box !!!!!
This is the front before I added names.
The papers are PaperMania Capsule Collection from a goodie bag quite afew years ago. They are nice, strong papers.
The tags are cut from beer carton cardboard using a Spellbinders Ribbon tags die.
I have put the names of my grand children on the front - Hollie Anais and Noah Jacob and will fill the first half with pictures of Hollie and the second half with pictures of Noah, the problem being, which pictures to choose.
I used all the pieces of paper even if there was not enough to cover one piece of card in one go, as the papers all blend OK, I added half and half!!!!
I didn't quite have enough to complete every card so used plain orange on some.
Dawn shows you how to make the tabs to use as pull outs and / or labels.
There are loads of pockets to put pictures and they are matted on cards and slide inside the pockets sideways and in the tops.
I am in the process of making another one of these to use to put my slimming recipes in that we are given at the club, so I will blog that one when it is finished.
Dawn has some lovely ideas on You tube and on her blog, so I'm sure I shall be attempting more, so watch this space!!!!

Hi Wendy
This is a brilliant idea and executed wonderfully.
