Creative Sketches had two different sketches to pick from. One was a TRI-FOLD card/page, the other a 1/2 sheet scrapbook page. Here is the sketch I chose to work from:
This is the TRI-FOLD mini photo card. I don’t have any grand children around who visit so I can take pics, so I chose to use my daughter’s little Rat Terrier.. Mr Tucker. He’s like a grandson anyway… he follows me EVERYWHERE!! Even to my stamp room!
I used a 4×12 piece of textured real red cardstock, scored at 4″, 8″ and some embellisments from the Letters To Santa Accents pack.
I added some bling with the SILVER GLIMMER paper, peeling the back layer to be able to punch out the snowflakes. I also used some around Mr Tucker’s picture to highlight it. Stockings were punched using the Letters to Santa paper and the Stocking punch. I added some of the new ruffled in-color Lucky Limeade ribbon along the right side of the last panel. Tucker’s just laying there waiting for Santa to come fill his stocking with “low fat, sweet potato treats”.. He loves those.
Here’s how it looks standing up. That’s the nice thing about making a tri-fold card like this…you can do one for each member of the family and line them all up on the mantel or a book case on display!
How bout some closeups of the pages? … page 1
Center panel with picture of Mr Tucker
Last panel with the rest of his stockings!!
I hope you get some ideas using this tri-fold format.. it’s an easy way to make a “quick photo book” and send it off to those who never get to see you! Be sure to leave a comment and go back and check out the rest of the ladies projects HERE.

Buy 3, get one free>>>>>DESIGNER PAPERS!!
What do you use Designer papers for?? Glad you asked…. I love using them as backgrounds… for my cards, books and other objects. Sometimes I need something more than just a stamped image on the project, or a subtle print to frame the stamped image. Here I’ve used some from our Nautical Expedition collection as a base for my little book pages. 
Here are some of the other pages inside my fold up journal/book
Each set of pages is similar but different. Using designer papers for the color bases, makes it easy to create a quick little book. If you would like directions on how to make this book, place a $50 online order including a pack of the Nautical Expedition Designer paper and I will send you the instructions for free!! If you would like to order a kit to make this book you can do so here. Kits will include instructions plus supply list and all components necessary to make this book, excluding adhesives. You can also order just the instructions to make this mini scrapbook. Instructions will be emailed to you in a PDF file. Colors for pages may vary among kits, but they will be matched up.
Order your Kit(s) here: Price for kit includes shipping costs. There is no shipping cost for instructions only.
