Everyday Captured, The Folio Album is FINISHED!!!

 Today I am going to show you the final piece of the folio puzzle, the finished piece.  I am so very happy how it turned out…I just love it.  I hope you do too.  I'm sorry it is so picture heavy, but I wanted to show you all just how much I was able to put into this album.

 I decorated it and added some fun elements from the paper collection.  I have enough paper left to decorate after I put pictures in it.

 I used stickers throughout the album with fun words and phrases on them.  It is a simple album, but I wanted it to be that way, I want the focus to be on the pictures.

 The envelope flaps all have stuff in them.  I put pieces of the collection in them, there's plenty of room for pictures and journaling.

 The middle part, all closed up.  The mini tags came with the mini album, so I added them to the bigger tags.  I think it came out cute.

 The waterfall piece was re-configured…but I like it and it turned out great.  I have an idea about a different way to do it…I will work on it and get back to you all.

 I had black photo corners that I used to add a bit of contrast to the photo mats.  A variety of stickers and such also made the file folder pages pop.

 The page with the pocket pages…this turned out cute.  I used the polaroid type cutouts on the other side.

 This bottom blue photo mat is shiny…that's because I used packaging from the stuff that I used for this album.  I love that I can repurpose packaging!

 The back page of the folio…I put a notebook into the pocket.  It has several pages in it for pictures and journaling.

 The back of the folio...

 …the back of the folio opened.  I put file folders in the pocket and there's room for more pictures.  I really love how this album turned out.

Here is a pile of the products I used for the album.  On the left, all of the leftovers from the binding mechanisms, folders, cards and envelopes.  I did pretty good using all of the things I pulled for this project.  Now I have to get the perfect pictures to put into this album.  It turned out amazing.  I hope that I have inspired you to create your version of this album.  Have FUN!

Stay crafty, my friends!
