Making Mini-Books with Pamela and Lowri, Part 2

In my last post, I showed you a mini-book I made by following Pamela's tutorial over at Cappuccino and Art Journal (one of my very favorite blogs to visit, by the way). 

Today, I am showing you another version of this mini-book, also created from a 12x12 piece of scrapbooking paper, and combining Pamela's design with Lowri's over at PaperVine.

In this version, the mini-book has pockets like Pamela's, but regular pages like Lowri's (as opposed to an accordion fold). 

You can also get a peek at the goodies I've stashed in all of the pockets.

And for good measure, I made a second book of the same design at the same time:

And a peek at the innards:

Who knew that I would be laid low by a stomach bug just a few hours after posting my first mini-notebook on Saturday afternoon?  Age appears to prevent me from bouncing back from such things quite as quickly as in my youth, so I am only now on Wednesday feeling 100% back to my regular, healthy self.  My trip to the PO was delayed by the bug, but I will be getting these three books off to blogging friends by the end of the week.

If you would be interested in doing a "stuffed-pocket mini-book swap" with me, just let me know in the comments or by email to aleakaskey@yahoo.com!

And it has been fun to see all the new people following my Book and Journal Making board on Pinterest.  Don't be shy!  Leave a comment on my post to let me know that you've been by.  It's just a fact:  comments make bloggers VERY happy, and I am no exception!

Thanks for visiting!
