I never realized how much cardboard our lives are surrounded by. I have been trying to find new uses besides recycling for all this material. This was a flat of canned soup. I decided what size I wanted my little album to be and used Chevy Man's pocket knife and sliced it up. A few days ago I made paper. Nothing fancy, just basic paper. I'll go into greater detail later on that. I then matched up the paper and design I liked and err... "embroidered" the paper to the cardboard. lol. A few of the pages have pull tags. It's Finished! Now decorate how you choose. I can't give it away with out an envelope can I? I traced my interpretation of an envelop onto painting paper. (I have a HUGE roll) Cut it out. Then I put the mini cardboard album into the envelope to figure out how big to leave the flaps. Then I embroidered (using this term lightly haha) the bottom of the envelope closed. This is the front of the envelope. Aww... The envelope idea came from Family Chic...
