Multi_layer Scrapbook Page Part 2

 What is under the flap? Lots more photos!

To make this layout we attached two 8x8 page protectors to the top of  our 12x12 protector. We put it between the two layers of scrapbook paper and used an atg gun to securely attach the part of the page protector with holes in it that goes in the binder. We cut 8x8 squares from 12x12 paper.  From the leftovers we cut 3.75x3.5 squares. We cropped our pictures to 3.5x3.5. This layout goes together very quickly. Attach the squares to the 8x8 paper and then attach your photos to the squares. Some squares we left solid and embellished with stickers or cricut cutouts. You can fit 32 pictures on the flaps if you use all of of the squares as is. Add that to the photos that go under and around the flaps, and you can document the whole first birthday party on one page, instead of the 8 it probably woud have taken.

 Close To My Heart Flip Flaps are another great way to add extra photos, memorabilia and hidden journaling to your scrapbook layouts.These are great when you have a couple more photos to add but not enough to fill an entire page protector.  They are page protectors in various sizes. Slide your photo or journaling into the pocket, attach with the adhesive strip, and you're done! It's a fun interactive element for your pages. (8 protectors: 4 – 6" x 12", 2 – 4" x 12", and 2 – 8" x 12"),with a strip of adhesive that lets you attach multiple photo sleeves to your page that can "flip" open. I am ordering some but haven't gotten them yet. If you know a ctmh sales person you might want to check them out. They are only 3.95 a pack.  Their page protectors are a good value for a pack of 50 12x12 protectors for 22.95. I don't sell Close to My Heart myself, but I've been to a crop and seen their products. You might want to check them out.
