For the Record Mini Album

 I've used this paper before on another project but it seemed fitting for this little mini for my niece who is packing up and moving a long distance away from friends and family. This paper is by Echo Park and is called For the Record. I used the front page of the packaging for the title and added some chipboard behind "the news". I made a pocket to hold the tags so her friends can journal their thoughts at her going away party. And there's plenty more tags inside too. (She has a LOT of friends.) And plenty of photo mats to document her send-off.

This is a vertical paperbag album made by the instructions from mysisterscrapper channel on youtube. I've used that in another project as well and found it very easy to follow.

Each page has a flap

and each page has a photo mat pull-out.

The binding method is the "stack the deck" by Laura Denison

For the Record Journal

I made this journal using the paper collection pack from Echo Park for my sister, Sandy. She's a good-hearted gal. I thought she could use it at her volunteer counseling sessions.  So I made it to put in her birthday package. I hope she finds it useful and that it reminds her that her sister loves her.

A pocket on the left side to slip notes into and a little clipboard attachment in case she needs one. I attached a long envelope for things she needs to tuck away and a legal pad

attached to a piece of chipboard so the pages can be lifted from the top...

                                        And a calendar for added convenience...

and some blank papers for doodling. You can look like you're writing really important notes when you're doodling, you know? Oh, that's probably just me. Never mind.

Hope she likes it.
