Four Projects From One Paper Pad~ Project 2~ Prima Beach Vacation Loaded Envelope By Design Team Artist Renea Harrison

 Hello everyone, Renea Harrison back for Project 2 for a series of 4 different projects that I created with 1 Paper Pad. I hear so many of you on Social Media talking about how much paper you waste.  I too am amazed at how many times I have gotten a paper pad and only used a few sheets out of it. There is no reason why any of us should be wasting our beautiful papers, so I am here to show you, it can be done!!

The Paper Pad I chose to use is a Prima Golden Coast Paper Pad that is a few years old, and that I had not ever used 😳 So, I have been getting some use out of these beautiful papers and here is the 2nd project I created in the same theme with them.

This project is one that I love to do. It is a Loaded Pocket Journal that I create by making a base from basic Manilla file folders, cutting them down and sewing them together. These pieces are so beautiful and make a wonderful gift for those who love to collect memories and journal.

 The base got a look similar to my 1st Project Mini Album. I added distressed edge paper, a layer of  Wide Gold Embroidered Lace, a bottom layer of Scallop Shell Lace 


 I then took a Beautiful Board Seashell Scroll Frame , distress inked it pink with a sponge, then dabbed some embossing ink on with a sponge and coated it with gold embossing powder that I heat set.
Next, I popped on a Printed Beautiful Board By The Sea Small Seahorse , real seashells that I 2 tone inked, cheese cloth, 
Mini Whisper Pink & Ivory Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers and Teal And White Roses & Leaves Mulberry Flowers.
The tab of the folder has some ephemera pieces layered on with a little mermaid from the 

By The Sea Trinkets Pack  accent.




I then fussy cut a large hot air balloon from the papers and added some of the same flowers and a 




The back got some of the beautiful papers added to it for a designer look.


The pieces tucked into the envelope include:
2- Oversized Tags with sewing accents and paper layers. They have hand dyed seam binding bows with little glitter seashell charms.
2- Large tags with Raffia hang tags. These 2 tags feature back pockets with ephemera tags and pieces for journaling and/or photos.
1- Large Tag That Opens when metal paper clip is removed for journaling spots and/or photos
1- Medium piece that opens when the wooden clothes pin is removed, into an accordion fold piece. This piece is perfect for journaling and/or photos. (Golden Coast)
1- Large Horizontal Shaped Card (Special Handling)
1- Medium Double Side Card (Salty But Sweet)

I hope you enjoyed this fun and functional project and that you too get to grab a paper pad you have laying around and get to make something beautiful for yourself! Hugs ~ Renea
