Many years ago, my sister (-in-law), Judy, Retired2stamp, invited me to a Stampin' Up Party. I was drawn to the 6X6 recipe card swap our local group was doing and had wanted to scrapbook too. I wasn't really interested in card making because I had witnessed my brother (in-law) Ed fold up a handmade card and put it in his pocket. I almost fainted and I didn't even make the card. But after a few parties, I was hooked and now make more cards than I had ever thought I would. My most recent passions are ATCs, tags & altered art. As you look through my blog I hope you can see how I've grown in my crafting ability!

Trap

I had a lot of things for this layout...photos I took, photos from the photographer, tickets & the program. It was too much for a 2 page layout but I didn't want to go with 4. I've never used CTMH Flip Flaps but I had all the different sizes so I decided to use two 6 X 12.

The play was all black & red so I used SU Real Red with a black DSP.  The DSP was torn on 3 sides with the untorn side to the center.  The layout is in an album so the blue is from the album.  


The photo above is with the Flip Flaps closed.  I inserted cardstock in each one as a mat.  The program & tickets are on the front of one & photos on the other.    The program is loose so it can be slipped out.  The tickets on the bottom were added to a stamped piece of cardstock.  I was hoping it might prevent the program from slipping to the bottom. but it didn't work.  I might trying using my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool to section it off.   Instead of matting the photos, they are trimmed with the remnants of the torn DSP.


The photo above is with both Flip Flaps opened.  The back of the left one has the back of the program adhered (I had several programs) with a few embellishments.  The Flip Flap on the right has more photos.  

I learned a few things about using Flip Flaps.  If I could do this over, I would have placed the back of the program at the top so it would appear it was the actual back of the program when the front was opened.  On the right 12 X 12 layout I would have switched the photos so the scenes from the play were on the left & the encore was on the right.  It was too much to take apart....well scrap & learn!  Regardless I'm still very happy with the finished product.   

TFL!!
