Circles and Patterns and Good Vibes pages

 For National Scrapbooking day there were 2 different scrapbook kits.  One you make the background with a variety of circles using whole, half, quarter, papers to make circles.  The other paper used the 6x12 flip flaps that really extend the page space you have.  Both are really great.

The Circles and Patterns:

It looks like you have circles all over and then covered them up.  The trick was that under the mats there are no whole circles.  There is an illusion that the circles are everywhere. 

Good Vibes:

The flip flaps can be the exact pattern as where you place them on the page protectors or it can be placed anywhere.  Usually you put the flip flaps so they don't "fall" open when you open the page.  That means that on the left had page they flap to the right and on the right hand page they flap to the left.  I thought it was cute that you actually can use them anywhere on the page.  I have used them at the top and bottom and on the outside of the page protector but you can also use them anywhere - middle was the example. 

You need to know that once you put a flip flap down, it doesn't move. You need to decide that you put it on the page protectors and then you can put other pages in your albums.   

I have tried the Tab Thin cuts Z3983 on the flip flaps so people know there is something underneath to look for. If you do a good job making the flip flaps look like they belong, people don't know to look under them and the tabs help.

Have fun with pages and cards and save your memories.
