Double Sided Album
A versatile little album for bulk making, make this your holiday go to. This is a cut apart design, great for scrap busting and mix and match, measurements below. Several examples for how to include the envelope. The interactive flap hides a slim pocket. In the end I made a last minute trip to the store and added some extra paper to tuck my envelope in a pocket because the envelope paper design was too pretty to hide.
