Storing Memorabilia in a CTMH My Creations® Kraft Pocket Album

I do not know about you, but I love to save little mementos to remind me of the life events that I have really enjoyed. They might be concert or airline tickets or a receipt from a great meal or a brochure or admittance ticket from a tourist attraction. But what is the best way to save those little scraps that most people throw away? Sometimes they are not "right" for scrapbook pages and, gasp, sometimes I have not make a layout to remember the occasion (though I usually keep a journal with me when I travel and that's where those mementos are stashed).

Other suggestions from the video for using the pocket album are storing holiday cards, children's artwork and report cards and other school mementos.

In the video, Project Inspirations: Pocket Album, we are offered ideas for embellishing the My Creations® Kraft Pocket Album like the one shown on page 81 of the Autumn/Winter 2013 CTMH Idea Book; the bare album is available on page 126.

Did you hear how she created the dovetails on the title? She cut down the center and then cut in from the sides using the Micro-Tip Scissors.
