As CREATIVITY is one of the main reasons, I decided to follow the format of a folding mini book I saw in Scrapbook Inspirations last year. I have used this style once before. This time, like then, I ADORE the outcome, but the creation of the book in itself was a real challenge! Thats another reason I went for this style - scrapbooking is all about me challenging myself - to find time for me, to take something 'simple' like patterned papers and create something unique and beautiful. I hope you like it...
You can see the cover to this book in more detail here on my blog.
For this post though, here is a quick cover shot to set the scene for LOTS of photos to follow!!
The basis of the book is on folded pages. I love the tactile feel and bulging look they give the book:
Page one is all about US:
Between the pages there are little pockets for tags to be inserted with extra photos and journalling:
Page 2 is all about meeeeeeee:
And the last page is all about the people (and animals) I care about and why I scrap for them:
I really loved making this book and have something very special to look at now!

Beautiful and what a gorgeous way to present and preserve your thoughts xxx
Oh wow! That really is lovely. You should feel really proud of yourself.
I haven't tried this book format just yet, but it's a really good way of fitting lots of things into a small area.
You've done such a great job! I like your ideas and "reasons why" too.

I love the folded elements of your book. It really appeals to me as I like things to be interactive and a hidden.
