There are so many great songs out right now. This week's Simon Says Stamp & Show inspiration came courtesy of a Bruno Mars song. The base of this Graphic 45 mini album is a Black Policy Envelope book and celebrates accepting someone *just the way you are*. Curtain Call seemed the appropriate paper and that's paired with For The Record stickers and embellishments.
The Graphic 45 record on the front cover is popped up so that the flap of the policy envelope can be tucked underneath for a closure. A Tim Holtz locket and key were adhered to the flap.
More envelopes were added for additional photos or journaling spots.
I took a Tim Holtz glassine envelope,
folded up the bottom to create another pocket
and then put it through my Vagabond
using a Sheet Music Texture Fade.
The small bottom pocket was then *sealed* using a tiny attacher.
More envelopes to stuff with goodies
and each policy envelope has an additional piece to add photos or journaling.
Our always generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a
$50 gift voucher
as the prize again this week!
The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge,
so why not give it a try?
Head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team
have interpreted this weeks theme.
Fabulous Nancy, love the use of the Glasdine pockets. A lovely co- ordinated piece and great song title. I live the olour palette. Tracy x

I love your designer eye when it comes to papers - you take them to another level - I love this Nancy! A labyrinth of pockets and hideaways with a perfect match between monochrome and brown touches! Loving that sassy lady in pic 2!
