For one last post tonight, "Joy" a 4.5" X 6" portfolio album. Listed in my Etsy shop here
"Joy" Portfolio Album
The front of this little album has been created using October Afternoon's "Silent Night" Christmas paper and is embelished with a brass closure and a tag tied to the sturdy o-wire binding with vintage seam binding ribbon and a snowman tag tied to the ribbon using red and white striped bakers twine.

Front , Binding, and Back
Pages 1 and 2
There is 1 bottom pocket on this page with Santa creating a top pocket and a side strip pocket on top with a tiny booklet that will hold 2 pictures slipped in. Page 2 has 1 bottom pocket created by the sweet skaters with a strip pocket on top of the page which you may clip any little picture or bauble. I added a tiny paper clip after this photo was taken, just to get you started.
Pages 2 and 3
The trees create a bottom pocket on page 3 with a side pocket and the vintage seam binding ribbon creating a side strip pocket on page 4. There is a tiny safety pin holding a 'Joy" tag with room for more tags if you want. and a spiral clip on the bottom.

On page 5 there is the backside of the ribbon creating another strip pocket and a doublesided snowman tag being held with that bottom spiral clip and a hanging snowflake connected to a metal "snoeman" tag. Page 6 has a bottom snow people pocket with a little shipping tag with a vintage seam binding ribbon pull.

Both of these pages have cutouts of children with a Christmas tree creating 2 pockets.

There is a journaling place on page 13 and a side strip pocket on page 14 with a large doublesided printed postcard tag slipped in.
I must say that the closure for this album turned out to be a bit tricky, the easiest way is to hold the album horizontally with the o-wire binding facing down while pushing down on the button and up through the clasp slipping the cover upward. My dear daughter said I could use her as a model to post a picture of her holding the album in the easiest position for opening. I'll do that tomorrow. Good night, rest well. -Rebecca
