Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. I would especially like to welcome my new followers. Thank you so much for joining me on my creative journey. I hope I can give you a little inspiration along the way. As you can tell by the Post Title #!!??!!@#, I am finally able to share with you the folio I made for the Tutorial I posted recently. I really hope you are not sick of these yet as there is still one more to go after this one. (I just know you are holding your head in your hands .. stop it!! It's only one more!!! LOL!!) In case this is the first time you've seen these, I first made these little photo folios as an exchange gift for a 'Girls Day Out' with four of my lovely crafty friends, Heather Jacob, Astrid Maclean, Adriana Bolzon and Helen Wallace. I made one for each of the ladies and then decided to do a Step by Step Tutorial and this is the one I created while writing that Tutorial. The papers used on this folio are all from Maja. I have always loved Maja papers but they are not easy to get here and now I have heaps thanks to my sweet friend Heather Jacob who gifted me a stack of these gorgeous papers. Thank you so much for your generosity Heather, I am blessed by your friendship in so many ways. Unfortunately I didn't have much left in the way of the word chippies that I used on the other folios but I did manage to find a few different ones that were suitable. When writing the tutorial, I did explain that the pages don't really sit flat when the book is open (as you can see in the photo below) but I don't really see it as a problem. Photo mat from the inside front pocket. Half pocket page. Folded card from half pocket. Double pocket page. Journaling cards. Full pocket page. Photo mat from Pocket page. Flip page. Opened once .. .. fully open .. .. the inside back cover .. .. and the back of the book. As you saw, I decorated this one pretty much the same as the others with just some stamping, stenciling, washi tape and a few Scrapmatts chippies. Thank you so much for dropping by and suffering through another of these. Only one more to go (which will be a while .. (yeah, I can hear your sigh of relief .. LOL!!)) and then I'll be done with these!! Have a great week!! Take care and God Bless.

This is an Idea-ology Travel Folio that I made using some of the new and existing Tim Holtz Idea-ology products. It is based on the life of Beatrix Potter. I've learned a little bit about her over the years and when I was looking at some of the new Idea-ology, I thought that many items would be perfect for a little tribute project. Before I start, if you are interested in seeing a video walkthrough of this folio you can view it here: For the cover I used a Lace Baseboard Frame. Underneath I added a piece of one of the new Backdrops papers. The butterfly adornment and hardware heads below were both colored by brushing some Distress Collage Medium on the metal and then adding some Distress Embossing Glaze in Kitsch Flamingo. This paper was a dark beige and I wanted to watercolor the floral bit on the piece. I could have used Distress Inks but seeing as I had been coloring some of the new Engraved Layers with Distress Crayons, I just used that to color the flowers on the paper. I think the Distress Crayons did a lovely job of adding a bit of vintage color to the paper. Across the bottom and right side of the frame I added flowers and greenery from the Engraved Layers. These I colored with Distress Crayons. I cut apart this leaf and put bits on both sides of the poppy to fill in the bottom of the frame. The Travel Folio is already covered so I just needed to add bits of paper and Ephemera. On the inside of the cover I made a pocket with a piece of Field Notes Ephemera, added a Salvaged Tag, and some Field Notes Ephemera. On the top inside flap I added more Field Notes Ephemera and Snippets. And the same on the bottom flap, more Field Notes Ephemera and Snippets. On the first flap inside the folio I made a little booklet from the cover of the journal that comes in the back of the folio. I cut the cover the the journal to be 6", then added some Field Notes Ephemera and Snippets, along with this piece of Backdrops paper to the booklet. I also added the large woman from the Engraved Layers. Inside the little booklet I added a salvage tag, some journaling, and Field Notes Ephemera and Snippets. I wanted to add this magnifying glass from the Engraved Layers to this piece of Fields Notes Ephemera. I think it's a fun element. I began by coloring it blue with some Tumbled Glass Distress Crayon. Then I added it to the mushroom piece right where the little mushroom snippet was on the ephemera. Then I added the Type Chips on the right side, I folded them in half so the lower case would show on the other side. Here you can see the fungi lowercase showing on the back side. This next page has two elements. This Collectors Layer postcard is supposed to represent the Lake District that Beatrix so loved, In fact, she loved it so much that eventually she purchased thousands of acres to eventually deed back to the National Trust. Behind the postcard I added some pieces of Backdrop paper and more Field Notes Ephemera and Engraved Layers. I tried to represent her artistic side and her fascination with nature on this page. These Clippings Stickers helped to tell Beatrix's story so well. I altered these paint tubes by coloring them with Distress Crayons and then adding numbers and images from the Specimen Remnant Rubs. I love this Engraved Layers Hydrangea and added more Clippings Stickers to continue Beatrix's story. I knew the back of the hydrangea was going to show, so I used the Ledger and Script stamp from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous. It is one of my most used stamps. I stamped some script on the back of the piece in Distress Archival Vintage Photo and then inked it with a little Distress Walnut Stain. The back of the Postcard and the Salvaged Tag needed some bits on the back so I added some Backdrops paper on the postcard with a Field Notes Ephemera rose. The back of the Salvaged Tag got a Quote Tile, Hardware Heads, and more Field Notes Ephemera roses. Here I added some Stencil Chips and some Collectors and Engraved Layers. I backed the Stencil Chips with mushroom paper from Backdrops, then added some Grit Paste and Distress Crayons to make them look aged. The Tiny Clip was colored with a bit of Broken China Distress Paint. You can see there is some Fabric Tape along the side, holding on the Collectors Layer, to which ?I added the Clippings Stickers and the teacup Engraved Layer. On that back of the Stencil Chips and alpha Layer, I added more Field Notes Ephemera, another Collectors Layer, and a butterfly Engraved Layer. If you look closely, you will see a piece of this same Backdrop paper that I used on the cover. I watercolored this and added just a bit behind the Stencil Chips. On the next page I put a strip of this lovely Backdrop paper, a Salvage Tag and two Engraved layers with some Clippings Stickers. The Salvaged Tag is backed by this Ranger Kraft tag. I stamped more of the Leger and Script stamps on the tag, added some Backdrops map paper on the flap and the tag. Then added a ticket from Ticketbook. The trunk Engraved Layer is supposed to represent the many times Beatrix traveled to her farm in Sawrey. On the signatures Collectors Layer, I added this large man and pen nib Engraved Layers to represent Beatrix Potter's lawyer and eventual husband, William Heelis. A Heart Adornment and Clippings Stickers tell the story of him falling in love with Beatrix. The back side of the signature Layer I used this pocket to put a few things that I felt told part of the story of Beatrix's life. On the pocket I added the book, a bit of writing and a type writer to represent her life as a storyteller. This typewriter is part of the Engraved Layers. I pulled this bit of a Snippet and cut it down. Then using the extended blade, I made a cut on the typewriter so I could slip the typing into the typewriter. In the pocket, I put some butterflies and the Engraved Layer butterfly as well was a tag. On the front of the tag is an Engraved Layer mushroom and a Field Notes Snippet. On the back, I added some details about Beatrix's life. This flap is to represent the marriage of Beatrix and William. I colored these small Engraved Layers to represent Beatrix and William. The Engraved Layers are adhered to a piece of Worn Wallpaper, then covered with a piece of Mica and the 3D Flowered Frames from Sizzix. This lovely piece of Quote Flair on the Field Notes Butterfly is a favorite little bit. The bottom frame is done the same as the one on top. This booklet at the back was made using the journal that was longer and thinner. I made a cover out of Backdrop paper, I used a piece of Field Notes Ephemera. The inside of the journal I cut down to 6" to fit in the new, smaller cover I made. Here you can see that I cut the journal down to fit inside the new cover I made. I sewed the signatures together. Then I added Distress Collage Medium to the inside binding of the cover. Here you can see the signatures glued into the new cover. I didn't do anything too artistic in the journal, just put Beatrix Potter quotes and Field Notes Snippets and Ephemera. Thank you so much for getting through this very long post. I felt it was important to keep all of these photos together instead of break this apart. I hope there is something in here that gives you an idea, a direction or some inspiration for making your own Travel Folio to document a trip, a memory or a person's life.

WELCOME BACK TO THE GRAPHIC 45 CALENDAR FOLIO SERIES! We are getting close to the end! We just have December to go! And it is completed, I just have to get it posted! I actually finished both months back in November 2018, but with my surgery in December and the recovery...I am just now getting to the tutorials! To see ALL of the completed folios, see the end of the post where there are links to all the months completed so far. I have also added a TAB at the top of the blog so you can always go there to find all the folios. I have the November Folios to share today. The November Folios are all decorated in a vintage Fall and Thanksgiving theme, suitable for photos of Thanksgiving, harvest parties, and other fall holidays. We are continuing to use the Graphic 45 Children's Hour Collection for this month. (This collection is now very hard to find, so if you are thinking of starting this folio series as of today, you will probably have to substitute another paper line, unless you can find Children's Hour online somewhere.) We will use the 12x12, 8x8, and 6x6 pads, plus some of the other items from the collection. This month, we are also going to be using the Place in Time Deluxe Collector's Edition (plus some of the original collection, since it is in my stash in abundance). We are also using Time to Flourish (which is retired, but sometimes you can still find it online). I am also using quite a bit of the Seasons Collection, including the ephemera cards. As always, feel free to substitute anything in your stash that you feel works well for a fall themed project. I have used dark brown cardstock for the base. See the full supply list below. The November folios consist of one calendar folio (8 1/4" x 8 1/4") and one scrapbook folio (8" x 8"). These folios hold AT LEAST twelve (12) photos. You can customize them for fewer or more photos, or for journaling, or to use as a planner. The folios are the same basic construction as the all the other folios. To see the other tutorials, check the links at the end of the post. We will be using DARK BROWN cardstock for this project, so don't let the photos with black cardstock fool you! Before getting started, I recommend cutting up ONE EACH of the Cut Apart and Collective sheets from the various paper collections. That way you will have all the images needed, as we will also use the prints on the reverse sides of most papers. (Note: I may have used more than 2 sheets of some of the paper, but if you cannot do that, substitute something else from the collections or something from your stash that coordinates.) I also recommend the Ephemera card packs, if you can find them. November Calendar Folio The November Folio is side-fold folio, measuring 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" when closed. This theme is perfect for fall and Thanksgiving memories. The orange, gold, brown, and green color scheme carries throughout the project. The folio opens with areas for photos and journaling. This month we are going to create two pockets, perfect for tags, calendar pages, and more! Let's get started! Cut one sheet of dark brown cardstock to 8 1/4" x 8 1/4". Cut a second sheet of dark brown cardstock to 8 1/4" x 8 3/4". Score the second piece on the long side at 1/2" to make a second 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" panel. Fold and burnish the score line. Attach the two sheets together to create a folio that is 8 1/4" tall and 16 1/2" wide. Make sure the fold is on the left-hand side of the folio, so that the folio opens like a book. Create a pocket for the left inside page. Cut dark brown cardstock to 7" x 7". Score at 1/2" from the left, right, and bottom edges. Fold on the score lines and add double-sided tape to the tabs. With the tabs folded inward, your piece will measure a 6 1/2" tall by 6" wide rectangle. With tabs folded, measure in 4" from the upper left corner and make a mark. Measure up 3" from the bottom right corner and make a mark. Draw a line connecting the two marks. Cut this section from the pocket. With the tabs folded, your piece will look like the photo above. This view shows the back of the pocket. The tabs have adhesive attached. To help with cutting your decorative paper for the pocket, we will create a template. Place the pocket, with tabs folded, onto a scrap of paper. Use a pencil to trace the shape of the pocket. Cut out the shape. Then, cut a little off each edge of the shape, making it slightly smaller than the pocket. Use this paper template to aid you in cutting your decorative paper for the pocket. Save this template for the future projects. Before placing the pocket onto the left page, as shown above, you need to first cover the inside of the folio page. Cut Time to Flourish November Flourish (reverse, green collage) paper to 8 1/8" x 8 1/8" and attach to the left page of the folio. Attach the pocket to the page as shown. Let's create a pocket for the right-hand page. Cut dark brown cardstock 5 1/2" x 9 1/4". Score at 1/2" from the left, right, and bottom edges. Fold on the score lines and add double-sided tape to the tabs. If desired, trim the tabs at an angle, as shown. Attach the pocket to the right-hand page. Now, close the folio, making sure the fold is on the left side. Now, let's decorate! We will start with the front cover. Cut dark gold/yellow cardstock to 8 1/8" x 8 1/2" and attach it to the front of the folio. Attach the Children's Hour 8x8 November Calendar page to the gold cardstock on the front of the folio. Trim the postage strip from Children's Hour November Collective paper and attach it to the left side of the calendar. Using a die cut template, trim a doily shape from ivory cardstock. Attach the doily to the right side of the calendar page, as shown Mat the Seasons Autumn Collective image with dark brown cardstock and attach it to folio, as shown. Tuck the "Be Thankful" Time to Flourish banner under the lower left corner of the image. Place a brad into the hole of the Children's Hour chipboard tag and glue the tag to the upper right corner of the image. Hot glue some fall florals to the left side of the main image, as shown. I used some spray mists to "colorize" a few white flowers from my stash. I also used some bits from fall "picks" that I found at the craft store. The cover is finished. Open the folio and we will work on the left-hand page. You should have already attached the background paper and the pocket to this page. (Use Time to Flourish November Flourish (reverse, green collage) paper, cut to to 8 1/8" x 8 1/8" for the background.) Using the template we made in the steps above, trim Seasons Autumn (pumpkin collage) paper to fit the pocket and attach. Trim the "Thanksgiving" border strip from Place in Time November Cut Apart paper. Attach the border to the bottom of the pocket, trimming to size. Use die cut templates to cut two circles from Children's Hour 6x6 Patterns and Solids paper (brown dots). Cut one circle 3" in diameter and the second circle 2 1/4". Mat both with dark brown cardstock, cut slightly larger. Attach the circles to the pocket, as shown. Trim the November journaling strip from Place in Time November Cut Apart paper. Attach the strip to the upper right side of the page. Attach a small banner from Time To Flourish Banners and a chipboard element from Children's Hour to the bottom edge of the journaling strip. Let's make some tags for our pocket! Use two of the Graphic 45 Large Kraft Tags. (They come six per pack.) For one tag, trim 1" from the bottom edge. Round the bottom corners. For the second tag, trim 1 1/2" from the bottom edge, then round the corners. (A black tag is shown here, but use KRAFT for your project.) Trim Children's Hour 12x12 November Calendar paper (reverse, orange print) paper to 6 7/8" x 3 3/4". Round all four corners and attach the paper to the front of the longer tag. Attach an image sticker (Children's Hour) to dark brown cardstock, trim and attach with foam adhesive to the upper right of the tag. Trim Children's Hour Montage (collage print) paper to 6 3/8" x 3 3/4". Round all four corners and attach the paper to the front of the shorter tag. Flip the tags over. Trim Time to Flourish November Flourish paper to 6 7/8" x 3 3/4". Round all four corners and attach the paper to the back of the longer tag. Trim Seasons 12x12 Patterns and Solids (orange text) paper to 6 3/8" x 3 3/4". Round all four corners and attach the paper to the back of the shorter tag. Place the tags into the pocket. Let's work on the right page. Trim Children's Hour November Montage paper to 4" x 8 1/8" and attach it above the pocket. Trim Seasons 12x12 Patterns and Solids (orange flowers) paper to 4 5/8" x 8 1/8" and attach it to the pocket. Trim the border strip from Children's Hour Collective paper and attach it to the pocket as shown. Trim the "November" border from Children's Hour November Collective paper and attach it to the top center of the pocket. Now, let's create some paper pretties to place into the pocket. We will make one calendar card and two tags for this pocket. Trim dark brown cardstock to 8" x 8". Trim the Time to Flourish 8x8 November Calendar page to 7 7/8" x 7 7/8" and attach it to the card. Trim the leaf border strip from Children's Hour November Collective paper and attach it to the bottom of the calendar. Trim a postage image from Place in Time November Cut Apart paper and attach it to the top right corner of the calendar. Use a G45 Large Kraft Tag for the longer tag. Trim 1 1/2" from the bottom of the tag and round the corners. Trim Place in Time November Cut Apart (reverse) paper to 6 3/8" x 3 3/4", using the pumpkin and brown flowers part of the print. Round the corners and attach the paper to the tag front. For the second tag, use a G45 Regular Kraft Tag. Cut Children's Hour November Montage (reverse) paper to 4 7/8" x 3 3/4". Round all four corners and attach the paper to the front of the smaller tag. Flip all three items over. Trim Time to Flourish November Cut Apart (reverse, orange print) paper to 7 7/8" x 7 7/8" and attach it to the back of the card. Trim the Place in Time November Cut Apart wheat border strip to 7 7/8" and attach to the bottom of the card. Trim three postage images from Seasons Autumn Collective paper and attach them to the top left of the card. Trim Seasons 12x12 Patterns and Solids (gold/yellow) paper to 6 3/8" x 3 3/4". Round the corners and attach the paper to the back of the longer tag. Add the "Harvest Time" image from Place in Time November Cut Apart paper to the left corner of the tag. Attach a Children's Hour chipboard pumpkin circle to the tag, as shown. For the second tag, trim Time to Flourish November Flourish (reverse, green print) paper to 4 7/8" x 3 7/8". Round all four corners and attach the paper to the back of the smaller tag. Place the card and tags into the pocket. Close the folio and flip to to the back side. Cut Time to Flourish November Flourish paper to 8 1/8" x 8 1/8" and attach it to the back panel. The calendar folio is finished! Add photos and journaling, as desired. November Scrapbook Folio This matching November Scrapbook Folio measures 8" x 8" and is a top-folding folio, decorated inside and out. It is perfect for journaling, ephemera, and photos. Like the calendar folio, this project can be displayed on your desk or shelf during the month of November. We will continue to use the same color scheme and theme as the first folio. The inside of the folio contains four flaps and a two pockets. The pockets are stuffed with fun tags and photo mats. Everything is decorated in a vintage Thanksgiving/Fall theme. We will construct the base for the folio first, and then decorate it. (Please remember, we are using dark brown cardstock for this folio, but some of the photos will show black cardstock. Don't let that worry you!) Cut one piece of dark brown cardstock to 8" x 8". Cut a second piece of dark brown cardstock to 8 1/2" x 8" and score 1/2" from the top edge. Fold and burnish on the score line. Add double-sided tape to the tab. Attach the tab to the top of the 8" x 8" piece of cardstock, creating a top-fold folio, 8" x 8". Open the folio. It is 16" tall and 8" wide. Cut a piece of dark brown cardstock to 4 1/8" x 6 5/8". Score 1/2" from the right edge. Attach the scored tab to the top left panel of the folio. Place the flap 1" from the top edge. The flap will be 4 1/8" x 6 1/8". Cut dark brown cardstock to 4 1/8" x 4 5/8". Score 1/2" from the left edge. Attach the scored tab to the top left panel of the folio. Place the flap 3" from the top edge. The flap will be 4 1/8" x 4 1/8". Now, we will create a pocket for the upper panel. (Sorry, mine looks a bit worse for wear!) Cut dark brown cardstock to 3 1/2" x 9". Score at 1/2" from the right, left, and bottom edges. Add double-sided adhesive to the tabs. (Note: I cut an angled bit off the ends of the tabs, where they meet, to decrease the bulk at the bottom edge of the pocket.) Attach the pocket to the bottom edge of the upper panel, just above the fold. Cut a piece of dark brown cardstock to 6 1/8" x 4 5/8". Score 1/2" from the right edge. Attach the scored tab to the bottom left panel of the folio. Place the flap 1" below the fold. The flap will be 6 1/8" x 4 1/8". Cut a piece of dark brown cardstock to 4 1/8" x 6 5/8". Score 1/2" from the left edge. Attach the scored tab to the bottom right panel of the folio. Place the flap 1 3/4" below the fold. The flap will be 4 1/8" x 6 1/8". Let's create a pocket for the bottom page. Cut dark brown cardstock 5 1/2" x 9". Score at 1/2" from the left, right, and bottom edges. Fold on the score lines and add double-sided tape to the tabs. If desired, trim the tabs at an angle, as shown. Attach the pocket to the bottom edge of the page. Fold all the flaps closed, and then close the folio. We will work on the front cover next. Make sure your main fold is at the TOP of the folio! We will now decorate the front cover. Cut Children's Hour November Montage (reverse) paper to 7 7/8" x 7 7/8". Attach the paper to the front of the folio. Cut Seasons Autumn (reverse) paper to 7 7/8" x 4". Mat with darkbrown cardstock cut to 7 7/8" x 4 1/8". Attach this panel to the left side of the folio, approximately 1/2" from the left edge. Use a decorative border punch to punch a strip of dark brown cardstock. Trim to 7 7/8" long. Cut the "falling leaves" border from Seasons Autumn Collective paper to 7 7/8" long. Affix the punched border to the bottom of the border strip. Place the border at the top edge of the panel. Select the November ephemera card from the Children's Hour ephemera pack (or trim the image from Children's Hour November Collective paper). Mat the image with gold and dark green cardstock, making each layer slightly larger, as shown. Attach the image to the right side of the folio, approximately 1 1/2" from the top edge and 1/2" from the right edge. Use foam adhesive to attach the "Harvest" sentiment, cut from the Children's Hour November Collective paper, to the left side of the image, as shown. Assemble a "bouquet" from some fall-themed flowers and other floral items and glue them to the cover as shown. Add a chipboard button (Time To Flourish collection), tucked under the top edge of the flower bouquet. We will work on the inside panels next. First, we will decorate the top, inside panel, the two flaps, and the pocket. Open both top flaps. We will work on the top base first. Trim Children's Hour November Montage paper to 5 1/4" x 7 7/8" and attach it to the top portion of the panel, tucking the bottom edge into the pocket. Trim Place in Time November Cut Apart (reverse) green check paper to 2 7/8" x 7 7/8" and attach it to the pocket. Trim the November title from the Children's Hour 12x12 Calendar Pad to approximately 1 7/8" x 7" and mat with dark brown cardstock cut slightly larger. (I inked around the edge of the title with some rust colored ink.) Attach the title to the center of the pocket. Let's decorate the flaps, and then make some items for inside the pocket. Start with the left-hand flap. Attach the Time to Flourish November ephemera card to the panel. To decorate the right-hand flap, trim out the Autumn image from Time to Flourish November Cut Apart paper. Attach the image to the flap as shown. Now, let's make some goodies for our pocket! (We will decorate the outside of both flaps after we make the items for the pocket.) We are going to make a large photo mat, two smaller photo mats, and a square tag to tuck into our pocket. Cut dark brown cardstock to 6" x 7 3/4". Cut Place in Time November Cut Apart (reverse) paper to 5 7/8" x 7 5/8" and attach it to the dark brown cardstock. (See the sample above to determine which part of the pattern you should use.) Cut two pieces of dark brown cardstock to 6 1/8" x 4 1/8".
