Hoping someone out there has a fantastic idea to share! I am up to Christmas Day in my DD and have quite a few (8-10) 4x6 photos I would like to include. I am working in a 6x8 handbook and don't want multiple spreads of just 4x6 photos from the same morning. But I am struggling to come up with a solution that I haven't already used.... I've done the Starbucks bag stuffed with photos before, fused fold out spreads, cut a large pocket with my Sihouette (like was in Ali's kit this year). My brain is fried and going down the rabbit hole of searching on IG for inspiration sounds like a good way to waste a few hours when I have other things I need to do.... suggestions? I thought about fusing a waterfall of sleeves onto a 6x8 page protector, but the back would end up less than pretty, which creates another dilemma. Have you seen or done anything recently that would be perfect for this conundrum (okay, maybe that is an exaggeration of my problem)?

May I ask what you used to cut the pocket page? I loved that idea with the tags but wasn't able to get a kit before it sold out

That was my first thought... but I am getting hung up on the execution. I thought it would look really neat to have them all together like that and cut tabs for each sleeve. Just not sure if doing it on a plain 6x8 is the way to go and if it could hold the weight (and if I am talented enough) to just fuse it to the front of the page and still be able to slip in a 6x8 of something for the reverse side. I know.... WAY over thinking this whole thing! |

I know.... WAY over thinking this whole thing! I wasn't sure how it would work in that size album either. I swear I did one at a bo bunny class a few years ago and it was for an album that sized. I just don't remember. I would have to watch a couple of tutorials to do it again for sure. |

How about you choose a nice large Christmas card you received,sew it on the bottom and side and use as a pocket to hold the other photos .You could then put the pics in a little mini album sleeve with a tab to pull-up
And include sender of card in the journaling
If the card was big enough you could just punch holes and include it in as a " page"

I have seen Ali E use those SNAP photo booklets before and thought it was clever. One of those would be perfect to slip in the card "pocket" and I could journal on the craft cover too. Now, off to scavenge the Christmas cards! |

I was going to suggest a pocket between the front & back pages for the photos, but I like camcas 's idea much better. Good luck! |

How about using two 2 up pages with a Snap Flip or a Fuse sleeve on each pocket. Then you could get 12 4x6 in one 2 page spread.
I've been adding ATG adhesive to the PL/Fuse sleeves and attaching them like the Snap Flips. Then I don't have to heat up the Fuse or see my crooked lines! LOL
