I started with a plain, standard size file folder.
Next, I covered it with paper and stamped the corners with some decorative stamps in my stash.
I then began making some elements and embellishments for the cover and inside. I used several Cricut cartridges, including Fabulous Finds, Graphically Speaking, Art Philosophy and Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I stamped them with stamps I had.
Next, I made a mini book to go inside for putting pictures. I, again, used stamps from my stash to decorate the pages. You will notice that all the edges are inked. I like how that really completes the look. I just used some paper scraps to make page-turning tabs.
Now for the fun part of putting it all together! I forgot to mention that I used Kraft paper to line the inside of the folder. The pockets on the right side are from 7 Gypsies and the tags in those pockets are from My Mind's Eye.
More close-ups:
I used Liquid Glass from Close To My Heart to accent the letters.
I wrinkled up the tickets before adhering them to add some dimension.
Another look at the finished file:
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope this inspires you to make a Memory File of your own!
