Shakers have been my obsession since I started paper crafting. I made a shaker card at a class and was hooked. When I started making mini albums the first thing I did was figure out how to incorporate a shaker element. So when Doodlebug first released their Shakers I was thrilled. THEN we got the Butterfly Kisses Shakers! Heaven!
For my project today I used the Butterfly Kisses Shakers and the Butterfly Kisses Heavyweight Acetate to make the cover of a gatefold shaker folio. The folio measures 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" with a 1 1/4" spine. I added butterflies from the Odds and Ends pack to cover inside and out, positioned so you don't see the back on either side. I also created an acetate belly band as a closure so the cut apart on the front feels like it's floating.
Inside we start out with a large pocket with a little scene built using Odds and Ends. That little frog is just the cutest!
As you open up the flaps inside the folio we have an acetate belly band using more of the Butterfly Kisses Heavy Acetate. I've tucked one of the chunky tag cut-aparts inside.
On the back of that flap we have more picture spots and a couple of smaller flaps as well.
Next, we have some skinny belly bands that hold journaling cut-apart booklets. When you open those up we have more picture space.
On the back of the folio is a small 3x4 waterfall and an acetate box pocket for all your extra photos or keepsakes.
