Veterans Day Wallet Shaped Mini Album with Lori Whitlock

Hello friends and Happy Veterans Day! Today is Lori Whitlock's November Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you! 

Veterans Day is an important holiday to honor, recognize, and thank all members of the US armed forces. I'm so grateful for our military and their families and the service and sacrifice they provide. For today's project, I made a patriotic wallet shaped scrapbook using Lori's cutting file called Wallet Mini Album (links below).

At 4x6 inches, this mini is a perfect size for photos of a veteran, a local parade, a ceremony, visiting a memorial, taking a veteran out to lunch, or volunteering at a VA hospital, nursing home, or organization.

To make it, I cut the base out of white card stock and used a mix of 6x6 and 12x12 pattern papers from the Doodlebug Design, Land That I Love Collection. On the cover, I added a This & That sticker from the Patriotic Picnic Collection and glued a tiny flat magnet underneath. 

Check out all the fun elements inside! There are 3 main sections that Lori filled with interactive flippies, pockets, and lots of space for photos and journaling.

The 2 little pockets on the left are so cute. I love the semicircle cutouts. I added a few cards, but you could also include small memorabilia like tickets to an event, dog tags, pins, stickers, or patches.

In the center, there are 2 tri-fold flippies. One unfolds up and the other down. On the front, I added a 3x4 flag card and the alphabet "Thank you" stickers.

Each of the flippies has 6 sections (or mats), giving you a total of 12 spaces for photos, embellishments, and journaling. Yessss! This mini actually holds more than you'd think!

Here's the top section stretched out. I layered lots of colorful papers and a die cut from the Odds & Ends.  

This is the bottom section. I can just imagine these flippies filled with special photos!

On the right, I added another This & That sticker from the Land That I Love Collection that bookends the one on the front cover.

Whether you make this mini album for yourself or create it for someone else as a gift, don't forget the clear Acrylic Display Stand!
