The escape page was made with the idea of multiple pictures and journaling.
I cut the film strip out of Artbooking
at 11 1/2 inches. I know, it looks like it would be too large. It wasn't. I just have to make sure I can fit pictures in the squares. The large black and turquoise frame was from Artbooking and cut at either 5, 7 or 9 inches. It's on page 64. I used various sizes though out the book.
The picture of the lady in the bottom left corner was cut from a piece of card stock put out by Graphic 45. I had other intentions for this paper but it worked well in this book so I'm glad I used it. The pink strip along the top of the pocket was stamped with from the same set as My Story from Fancy Pants. You could stamp anything across there. I used another E.K Success punch along the bottom and glued a piece of grey ribbon long the top side. Again I made the pocket large enough for pamphlets or brochures or more pictures.
Another frame from Artbooking. The little envelope in the corner was something else in my stash that has been there for years. World traveler was a peel and stick from a company called Stickabilities. The Island adventure is another cut out from Graphic 45. I went through my stash of stamps and found all kinds of sayings and words that I used on the frames. I also only tacked my frames down with a little tape from a tape runner. I'm hoping it holds them in place, then can be removed to put pictures in, then I can glue them down permanently. What some of the scrappers in our circle have noticed is, the tape, even the big tape runners, dry out and a lot of my scrap books now have to be redone as all the pictures and embellishments are falling off the pages. I now glue things down. I'm not all about the acid free anymore. Chances are my kids won't really want the books anyway so no need for me to make sure they will last a century. lol
