A new way to use a manila folder:

So I finally did some crafting for Halloween today. I know, it's only a week away! This mini album, pocket book is made by cutting a manila file folder in half. It was super easy to do and a lot of fun! On the tags I'll write down some of our Halloween memories from this year and include some photos too. I can't take credit for the manila folder idea, though. I saw it on Kristina Werner's blog (www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/) . I love her blog! She is so creative! Anyway, she even puts the directions for cutting and scoring this on her website too: http://kwernerdesign.com/blog/2007/09/ There are pictures and the template on her posts for Sept 4 & 5. Check it out!
