I have been wanting to do a bit more scrapbooking for a while but wasn't sure how or what I wanted to achieve. Its funny how ideas will just pop into your head when you least expect them. I have a stack of envelopes that no longer have their cards. I was thinking about how I could use them and then the idea came to me....An envelope scrapbook!
I thought using the envelopes would allow me to create little pockets with a nifty snip or two. I have put inserts in to each one, marked with a page divider-is that what they are called?
Now, I'm not sure how this will all look in the cold light of day but right now, I a pretty pleased with my efforts. If you look closely in one of the following pictures you will see the absolute carnage that will greet me in the morning...I am a heck of a messy crafter!
Should have rotated this...
and this.
This too!
Eurgh, if Cameron were not in cute in this picture I would have accidentally lost it.
I was very overweight back then!

Not sure how I missed this, I was on your blog on Sunday I'm sure but never saw this post!! How annoying.
This is SUCH a clever idea and a great use of envelopes that you never seem to use (long one's for me).
