I was so excited when Stampin' Up! contacted me to do a Workshop Wow at the Minneapolis Regional this past weekend. They called two days before I left for the Stampin' Up! Hawaii Incentive Trip. I knew I wouldn't have much time to prepare - but I said YES! Couldn't help myself!
It was so much fun! I demonstrated an Envelope Scrapbook. I did this project with my scrapbook clubs last December. They really liked it, so I decided to make up some samples using current product.
It's VERY simple! All you need is 3 envelopes. Adhere them together using the flaps. That's it! Well, of course you'll want to decorate it.
The scrapbook I designed is for my husband for Father's Day. I married Gene when my girls were 6 & 8. So he missed the baby years (diapers, terrible twos, etc). We now have a grandson, Max (another grandbaby is on it's way - May 26th!). Max is the light of our lives! So now Gene gets to do all of the baby stuff.
Last fall we took Max to a local Apple Orchard and Petting Zoo. I took over the camera duties (Gene is usually the photographer for our family). You'll see why when you see my pictures. So here's my album with Max and Grandpa!
Look at that cute little butt! Hmm...not much of Gene showing?
Look at that cute little face! Hmm...only got Gene's hand?
Hmm...Still not much of Gene in the picture? Guess there's a reason that Gene is the family photographer!
I have a few more envelope scrapbook samples to share. So stop on by again!
Supplies: Sweet Serendipity & Trendy Trees stamp sets, Kraft Medium Envelopes, Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper, Basic Black & Kraft Cardstock, Basic Black & Close to Cocoa Classic Ink, Wide Oval Punch, Jumbo and Mini Library Clips

LOL! Gene may not be showing up much, but he will still treasure this! It is the opposite in my family I take the pictures as my DH is not all that good at it, okay but he doesn't center on what I feel should be centered on, so I take them, figure I'm the one scrapbooking them anyway - LOL! Once in awhile I will turn my camera over to him or someone else, so that I can actually be in a shot!

I love this little scrapbook idea! How simple and cute. Would you show a picture of the back of it to see how the envelopes are are adhered together? What a fantastic job! I can see why Stampin' Up! asked you to present. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas and inspiration!
