I’m so excited to share the first page of my book. With Thanksgiving being so late this year and our actual family dinner happening on December 1st, I decided to focus on Thanksgiving weekend as the first page.
There were a lot of photos that I wanted to share so I decided to do a pocket page and turn each of the four photos into tags that could be pulled out and looked at. The fifth tag is the story of our weekend so that I will remember all the fun of being with family, especially how we ended up in a Spanish showing of Moana 2.
The pocket page is a fun way to display more than one photo without having to print them too small. To create this page, I simply took the cardboard from a specialty pack of DSP and cut it down into a 6″x 8″ piece. I then covered the front and back using DSP. For the front, I covered it with the candy cane print. To make the pocket, I cut a layer of window sheet into a 4″ x 6″ piece and then attached to the page using a piece of tear and tape across the bottom and down the right side. I left the left side open so that there would be room for give and the pocket wouldn’t be too tight. I used a hole punch to put two holes right where the binder rings go through. Since one of the holes incorporates the window sheet, it will keep the tags from falling out of my book.
For the number 1 at the bottom, I pulled out my retired number dies and cut them using white cardstock and a foam sheet. I love the number standing out a little bit from the page. The foam sheets are perfect for giving it dimension.
I also covered the back of the page with DSP which you will get to see tomorrow when I share day 2. It’s not too late to jump in and create your own album this year. I would love to help and inspire you!
