This year's December Daily / Journal Your Christmas book was made using Eileen Hull's new Traveler Journal die from Sizzix. You can see how I put the cover together on this post. For the interior pages I made four signatures from a compilation of plastic page protectors, scrapbook paper, paper bags, envelopes, and specialty paper from the Paper Source. I decided to pick up two of Ali Edwards' december daily kits this year and about four sets of clear stamps from Kerri Bradford -- because you can never have enough Christmas stuff. The page protectors I used were mostly 6x8 sized, which I folded and/or cut down to fit.
With my signatures I decided to use the elastics and just slide them underneath. They are not permanently attached to the book - which turned out to work in my favor as I could remove pages to add stamping. So much easier! I used two to three page per signature. I'm going to show you a few of the variations I used. You can find the entire album here: 2016 December Daily album.
Here I added an envelope, adhering the flap to the paper bag on the left. The fold for the envelope becomes the middle of this "page," and I was able to add a card with journaling inside the envelope.
This page is the remainder of the pocket page above. It's a 3 pocket x 3 pocket page (possibly Snap!), and I folded it so that two pockets would fit to the left of the fold. I attached paper to the part of the protector you using clip into your album.
In this signature I slipped in a gift bag and a piece of heavy cardstock from one of the kits. Instead of adding another piece to the paper to make a larger page, I decided to leave it as is and use it more like a tab.
And a few more pocket protector / paper combinations. Thank you for looking!
