Tim Holtz has got a great new product out there called a Collection Folio . There are two sizes, a large and small. Today I wanted to share...

Hi everyone and lovely to see you here! After having completed a little folio from my stash for A Vintage Journey two day ago, I was excited to see that the Compendium of Curiosities 3 challenge blog's current challenge was to use a collection folio. I had been hoarding one for ages, so this was the perfect chance to have another go. This one is in a very different style from my previous one, and even though it is the smaller size of the two folios Tim Holtz has brought out, it is way bigger than the last one I did. Now one of the things I vowed I would do this year, is spent more time journaling and playing just for my own fun, and this was the perfect opportunity to have just another play. I am going to treat it as a journal, and there are still many more "pages" to fill. I am not going to do a full step by step for this project, there are plenty of tutorials and videos out there on how to do it. I'll just show pictures, and tell you a bit of what I used. The front was made with a piece of paper from the Hometown collection by Ken Oliver. I love the colours and played around with the paper with texture paste, stencils and dies from Tim Holtz's new Mixed Media thinlets dies. The butterfly was cut from a really old Prima collection. Here are some close ups: Stencilled through one of Tim's stencils. Two pieces of honey comb, die cut with the mixed media die. An altered bit of Dusty Attic chipboard, I used Decoart paints, Antiquing Cream and Treasure Gold. Here is the flap to close the folio. I used another piece of the same paper and added two pieces of the Trellis die by Tim. I then added two metal pieces from my stash to embellish, again altered with Decoart products: I left the back of the folio quite simple This is a piece of paper from the 7 Dots Studio North Country collection. I used my Indigo Blue stamps by Limore Webber (through out this project here and there) and used a mix of Cracked Pistachio and Pumice Stone Distress inks, to match the colours of the Hometown papers more. Here are the side flaps, all done in similar style. I forgot to take a photo of the inside, but it's just more of the same. Now to some of the "pages" of my folio journal. I photographed before adhering them to the inside of the folio's waterfall thingy (can't remember for the life of me what Tim calls it, but it's so clever). A die cut piece of chipboard. For the front I covered it with texture paste and while wet stamped into it with various stamps, then coloured with Decoart paints, and decorated with various bits and pieces from my box of scraps. I was really just experimenting and having fun, that's what journaling is all about for me. The back of the same piece, collaged and stamped. Such a great way to use up some of these bits and pieces I always seem to be collecting.....This is what I love about projects like this. No pressure, just fun. More collage fun with scraps, and below the inside of the same Kraft card card, (I had two of these in my scrap box, leftover from making Christmas cards), so now I have finally put them to good use. Like I said, the inside of the same card, this one is a Paperartsy stamp, the background was book paper, gesso, Gelatos and some Kaisercraft texture stamps. And another double sided card of the same size: The front And the inside.. The stamp is from a Lynne Pyrella stamp set, stamped on tissue and then adhered to an old book page and colour added with Gelatos. Oh, used some gesso too. Here finally is the front and the back of a little tag still: And here finally you can see it all inside the folio, that is getting quite fat now.... So far though, I have only filled two of the inside waterfall flaps, so there is a ton of space for more "pages" still, but those will be shown on another day soon I hope. One of the things I really like about these folios is, that because of the elastics, which are of course removable, you can either have the side flap on top (like in my first picture), or tucked inside, like here, so you can see the butterfly better. I am adding this to the Compendium of Curiosities challenge #23, which this time is sponsored by the wonderful Inspiration Emporium I am also going to add it to the Simon Says Monday challenge where the theme is "A Hint of Clover". Well there is plenty of clover green here, so I think it will qualify... Well that's it for now, thanks for dropping in have have a great week ahead!

2018 Retreat guests were given a "welcome folio" upon arrival that contained information for the weekend. Several attendees asked to learn how to make one, so here we go! Begin with a budget manila file folder from your favorite office supply store.

Hello friends! Today I have an upcycled file folio tutorial to share with you. This basic four section pocket folder can be used for many purposes, such as photo storage, journaling or as a mini book. I'm using mine to store fussy cut ephemera collections, mainly the Fruits and Flowers Fussy Cut Collection and Herbs and Spices Fussy Cut Collection by Junk with Steph (digital designs). I recently joined the Junk with Steph design team, simply because I adore her images and wanted to get to play! My only problem is that these are ADDICTIVE! I can't stop printing and cutting and I needed a way to store my new ephemera for easy access, hence the file folio concept. I hope to create new folios for different kits in the future and have a full collection. Here are the basic cutting & scoring steps: Start with a center tabbed file folder. Score 2.5" from top and bottom (while folded). Score down the middle at 4.5". Cut away small slits between the bottom panels to form pockets. (Sorry the image below is upside down, but you will get the idea.) Cut the third panel on top and bottom 1.5" from score line. Cut away on the score line of the 1, 2 and 4th panel. For my folio, I used an old typed prayer book to cover the folder panels and some old 6x6" scrapbook paper to cover the pocket flaps. This size of folio is perfect to use up your 6x6" paper stash. I stitched around the first and last panel and added a few college elements. I used washi tape, a bit of Tim Holtz ephemera, vintage postage stamps from my collection and rubber stamp cancellations from the Darkroom Door Global Postmarks set. I LOVE this stamp set! I made a quick flip through video for you. I truly hope you are inspired by this project and will give this project a go. I would love to see your creations, so please share a link with me in the comments. Hugs, Autumn

Here it is - the 23rd challenge for the Compendium of Curiosities III - the Collection Folio found on Page 34 of Tim's third book! I will confess I was a bit nervous about taking on this challenge on as it looked like quite the task! However, it has turned out to be one of the most rewarding challenges I have done! I decided I would use my maternal grandmother, Eunice Blanch Wood, as my inspiration as she was truly one of the strongest people I have ever known. She was also kind, loving, faithful and patient, attributes that I will always remember. I was also blessed to be the granddaughter she wanted to have her photos, so I have lots of wonderful photos to work with. It was hard to fit them all in! Here is the cover of the folio: I originally resisted using Tim's Wallflower Stash as I use it quite frequently, however, it is truly my all-time favorite paper and I couldn't bear not to use it for this project! Don't ever discontinue it, Tim! I removed the elastic closure and covered the entire folio with the paper with the exception of a few of the "fold-over" areas. I then cut out my favorite picture of my grandmother with an oval die and oval scalloped die and mounted it on green and brown card stock. I used Tim's Alterations Typeset die to cut the letters for her name. After this was done, I reattached the elastic closure through the designated holes, adding a Word Band to the top before threading it through the last hole. Now it's time for another confession! I tend to generally "play it safe" with colors and textures. However, I finally decided I needed to step out of my comfort zone and go crazy! I did this with the inside piece of the folio that the photos and ephemera are attached to. Here is what it looked like when I started: I used Tim's Frameworks Trellis Die as well as the Latticework stencil along with Peeled Paint, Antique Linen, Forest Moss and Gathered Twigs Paint. The fun then began! I have to admit that it took me two full days to put this together, however, I wanted it to be extra special. I also had lots of photos I wanted to incorporate. You certainly don't have to put as much as I did into this project - just select a theme you like and go for it! For the inside cover of the folio I used one of Tim's Mini Cabinet Cards and placed my grandmothers baby's picture in it! I always laugh when I see it as she looks so startled. I used this photo for the first challenge and turned the photo into a birthday card. I die cut a banner from Tim's Sizzix Alterations Tattered Banners strip and hand wrote her birthdate. To finish this cover I added two photos of the farm where she was born in Alva, Oklahoma. On the right side I sandwiched two new Elementary Flashcards, one that said "family" and the other "story" over the first cascading flap. These Flashcards have such wonderful words on them! Love them! On the right hand side of the second cascading flap I attached two photos of my grandmother's family. I used an Industrious Frame from the new Gallery set to frame her parents' wedding picture. Some photo corners from the same set were used in all four corners of the family photo. I used the Alpha Parts: Newsprint letters to spell out the word "Family" at the top of the photo. For the back of the second cascading flap I added two more photos which I adhered to not only the flap, but also the reverse side of the photos on the opposite side. I used the Life Quotes Remnant Rubs to add some words. The right side of the third flap features my Great-Grandmother Mamie. I used a library pocket I had in my stash. I laid it on its side and covered part of it with paper from the Wallflower Stash. After placing the photo on a brown mat, I adhered it over the paper and added some Alpha Tiles to spell out her name. I tucked in a tag I colored with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks and stamped with a B-Line Designs Gorgeous Fabric background. I added another Elementary Flash Card and then a Remnant Rub from the Botanical set to the card. I finished the front of the flap die by cutting and adding a Tim Alterations Distressed Doily die cut and fussy cutting a rose image from the Wallflower Stash paper (one of my favorite things to do). The last touch was the addition of an ephemera piece from the Emporium Ephemera Pack. Close up of the tag: I used the reverse side of the third flap for one photo plus another Flash Card and some fussy cut images from the Wallflower Stash paper to create a nature collage. I also stamped the tag on the reverse side with a stamp from Wendy Vecchi's The Beauty of Art stamp set. Here's a close up of the reverse side of the tag: On the right side of the fourth flap I used two large #10 tags. I adhered a reduced size copy of my grandmother's graduation certificate to the top tag. I used two B Line Designs stamps for the bottom tag, Women are like Buttons and Button Collage that I stamped lightly with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Another photo was placed on this tag along with a Life Quotes Remnant Rub, Stencil Mark and Chit-Chat sticker. Both tags were finished with a strip from the Industrious Gallery Stickers, two bows made from Crinkled Ribbon, a Ring Fastener and a Graphic 45 Shabby Chic key. Another Flash Card with an image from the Botanical Remnant Rubs can be found in the center of the flap. The left side of the fourth flap features two #8 tags to which have been added Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress inks and adhered to the larger #10 tags on the opposite side. I decorated the tags with another photo, my grandmother's wedding announcement, a flower from the new Emporium Ephemera pack, two bows made from burgundy seam binding that was crinkled, an photo is an oval frame from the Industrious Gallery Stickers with a photo, a Flash Card with a Botanical Remnant Rub and a metal key (sorry - not sure where this is from) and a floral stem from Nature Adornments. The left side of the fifth flap was adorned with photos of my mother and uncle in Industrious Gallery Frames and finished with words from Chit-Chat stickers. The back of the library pocket on the opposite side was decorated with another photo and Label Letters spelling my mother's name. I also attached a gingham ribbon bow by Creative Impressions to the tag front. Here's a close up of the tag front: Finally the back of the tag was stamped with a border from Wendy Vecchi's The Beauty of Art set and a stamp from Wendy's new Art and You set. Close up of the reverse side of the tag: Finally, the last flap was adhered to the back of the folio and a large photo of my grandparents on their honeymoon was placed on top. A later photo of my grandmother was adhered to the top inside flap and a photo with me in it was adhered to the inside bottom flap and a fussy cut image from the Paper Stash was glued over the photo and onto the paper. I had to move from my small studio to the dining room table to spread everything out for this project. Here is what it looked like (I'm embarrassed to say): I would bet that many of you can confess to the same thing! Am I right? Wow, that was a much longer post than I had intended, however, there are so many details I wanted to share with you. Now it's your turn to create something beautiful with this wonderful Collection Folio and share it with us. As usual, head on over to the lovely Linda Ledbetter's site, read the rules for the challenge and start creating! For this 23rd Challenge, Inspiration Emporium is sponsoring a shopping spree in the amount of $50.00 for one randomly chosen winner. Tim and Mario have a fabulous prize package for the winner of the Curiosity Crew Choice. Good luck to everyone and have fun! Susan
