Hello Friends and welcome Back
Today i wanted to share a project I have been working, on, well, off and on, since my return from holidays early April.
This is designed using the Let it Bee Paper Collection from Graphic 45. The Folio, i admit, is not my design. The base is a tutorial i purchased from Paper Phenomenon, it is Folio 2, Style 3
I did my own take on most of the inside, and the cover. I added more flips and pockets.
I first saw this Folio at a crop I attended while on holidays in Florida and a gal i met ( Christina Mann ) was working on one, and had one all completed with photos of her recent cruise and I have to say, i wanted to try and make one myself. In total, it has taken me about 40 hours to complete. With all the added flips, and pockets. I did not do it all at one time, but a few hrs here and there during my free time. I often look at it and wonder, is it complete? Should i add more?
This particular Folio took 30 sheets of cardstock, with my added flips and pockets, cover design, it was well over 40 sheets of black cardstock,
I used Kraft-Tex for the binding.
It also took about 30 sheets of pattern paper ( i havent really counted the pattern paper, I can tell you it took a lot) And 20 magnets.
I used Pink Fresh Banner die to add some magnetic closures on one of the front flips, a border punch from my stash. I used the Journal cards and the added die cut package.
here is the Folio flat.

It truly is a gorgeous Folio, and I know i will make more.
I know you will love it as much as i have enjoyed putting it together.
Here is my walkthrough, i have updated my blog post to add this video in.
