Interactive Flaps with Kelli

Hello crafty friends! I love sharing my projects with you. Today I am showing a fun project made with the August kit: "Chasing Rainbows."  It's a 2-page spread in my Life Crafted Album. I have several interactive pages in this album. It's perfect for this since you can insert your own pages. 

The right side is made of 6 flaps. They are each made of white cardstock folded in half, and then glued on to the background. Then I added photos and embellishments to the outside and inside of each flap. It was so much fun! 

On the left side, I made a layout with one photo, journaling, cute papers from the kit, and those stamps.

Those stamps... yes, lets talk about those stamps. The "build your own rainbow" stamps are so much fun. I usually just use black for my stamping, but I loved getting out my colored inks and building this rainbow. It's definitely my new favorite stamp set.

Here is another look at the layout. That lemon paper is one of my favorites this month. The flaps are really easy to create, and making some interactive pages in your album, makes the album really fun to flip through.   

Thanks so much for joining me today! Have a great day filled with craftiness. 

Life Crafted with Kelli

Hey friends, its Kelli here. I've been really looking forward to this blog post because I had so much fun making the first 2 spreads in my Life Crafted album. I want my album to be a mix of traditional pages in their sleeves, and also interactive pages. The Life Crafted album is perfect because you can creatively document your life in different ways.

My 6 year old was soo excited to lose his front tooth. It left quite the big hole in his cute smile, and deserved a layout. The kit this month was perfect for this because it had that "Big Life Change" card and that "New Chapter" stamp. 

For the interactive page on the right, I used white cardstock to make 8 rectangles, folded them in half, and glued them on. Then I got to add photos and embellishments to each fun flap. This is one of my favorite things to make with paper! 

The next spread in my Life Crafted album is all about READING. The theme of the kit is obviously what inspired me to make this. 

The pocket on the left is filled with pull out slips of paper including each of our favorite books. I think they will be so fun to look back on in a few years. 

The page on the right includes an instax pic of my son Radley reading his favorite Wimpy Kid book. That Library Borrower's Card is my favorite!  

Thanks for joining me! I hope you get lots of scrapbooking time in today!
