I needed to make a quick book for my girlfriend, Michelle's birthday. Using my Zutter Bind-It-All, I made this little envelope/tag book in about an hour and a half.
I made my own chipboard covers to compliment my mini envelopes. I covered them with patterened cardtock. I then took some small envelopes I bought in Chinatown, San Francisco (although I'm sure you could get these at any office supply store). I cut off the flaps of each one and covered each with a solid cardstock that coordinates well with my covers.
I wanted to keep this really simple, so I did one friendship quote and one element per page and tag. I found the friendship quotes through a search on the Internet.
This mini album went together very quickly!
I got the tags at my local office supply store. I only distressed one of them. I simply crumpled it up and used a distressed ink pad on it.
