At the Stamp, Scrap & Create Escape Retreat we had four Make&Take projects for everyone that attended.  The groups rotated through the stamping sessions to complete the four projects.  One of them was the fun mini scrapbook made with the Sent with Love Designer Paper and stamp set.

The front and back cover are made from the Natural Composition Specialty Paper (you’ll find it in the new catalog too).

The inside pages alternate between envelopes (that create pockets) and card stock.  The binding is the Sent With Love Designer Paper.  Decorate with the stamped images, punched images and card stock.  Finish with some Baker’s Twine tied around the front.

The envelopes are pockets and inside each one is a piece of card stock that was embossed and cut to create a decorative edge.  I cut the flaps off of the envelopes, but if you think you want to close the envelope with a closer and some twine then leave the flaps on.  You can hide secrets in there 🙂

smash-book-4One more fun thing on these is the faux “tape” – I cut strips of Vellum card stock – stamped on them and then punched the edges with the postage stamp punch and it looks like tape.  Adhere just one side and then you can took a photo under it and it will looked “taped” but won’t really be.

Today is the last day that you can order the Sent With Love items – either individually or as a bundle – so be sure to hurry before they are gone!  These will be fun to have for scrapping some travels this year.
