Our layouts were almost identical (not a face, a torso) except he used a guy and I used a girl but he was ahead of me. Unbeknownst to me he was already finished with the class but for some reason he checked back in and saw my note. The rest is a long storied history.

    Another cute 12 x 12 project Mary, I'm like you about the policy closures, I close most of my flaps with those tiny velcro dots most of the time but I think a belly band is a good idea too. I think you could attach the side of it (not the flap) to the edge of your page with washi and still make it a flip out. Oh yay, my favorite color is yellow too, so sunny and warm and cheery. I hope things improve with your brother and sending good positive thoughts your way on the financing. Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you so much for the congratulations. Glad you like the extras, I do store scraps with them for when I decide to decorate but you can also check out the inspiration videos because they almost always decorate.

    Hi Mary! Love how this one turned out. Great idea - and I love how they tuck into a journal. I'll be making some of these. :D <3 Thank you - as always.

      Hey, thank you! Glad you like them, I agree, really cute for tucking in a journal (travel) or just handing out for photo keepsake books, you could include a little pack of handmade photo corners.

    This is too cute Mary, the mitered corners on the envelope look just fine too and I like the idea of making it a pocket (add some washi tape or flat embellishments to those upside down flowers), thanks for sharing and the tutorial. I bet your daughter is getting so exited with all the events leading up to graduation.

      Thank you, yes, so glad I watched that project, yeah I can add something and I still have more of those sheets if I want to remake it. JoAnn's still might have it in stock, love that paper and brand, very good quality, does not crack. One senior event this morning (last walk through the halls) and two more to go. Bittersweet but joyful, they've all been together since kindergarten, watched all of them grow up.
