Little Red Wagon Challenge #71 - Use Office Supplies

It's Wednesday already, yeah!

And it's time for another Little Red Wagon challenge.

This week Joanne challenged us to use office supplies in our creation.

I thought about it for awhile, I've used paperclips on various items before but I wanted to try something a little different this time. I finally settled on this:



It's an envelope album! Some of you guessed right from my sneak peak. I made it for our upcoming summer cruise to keep notes and stash some of the other litle bits of paper you accumulate on a vacation.



I folded each envelope in half and embellished them with My Minds Eye paper.



I then stamped each envelope flap with the date and our destination. I created a cover from two pieces of cardstock glued together for a bit more thickness then attached the envelopes by using some glittered ribbon-like twine threaded through the center. As you saw in the first photo, it ended up fairly thick so I used some stretchy lace to tie it closed.



Then using a Papertrey die and stamp set, I created cards for each pocket. I plan to use them to jot down brief thoughts of each day. I stapled(another office supply) a piece of ribbon to each to allow easy retrieval from the pocket.




I think when I get back from my vacation I may actually cut each envelope in two, sew the cut side closed to maintain a pocket then mount each on a scrapbook page.

And I definitely went way out of my box with this challenge, thanks so much Joanne!
