Indian Summer memory book

Description

Summer's almost over, but your memories are still as fresh as yesterday. What could be sweeter than saving them in this tiny, pocket-sized scrapbook?

I have created this memory book from all reclaimed materials: deep orange embroidered fabric with a soft suede texture; archival-quality watercolor paper; and good old-fashioned paperboard.

At 3" by 4.25", it may seem too small to contain the full beauty of your summer memories, but it unfolds to provide two 4.25" by 12" spreads, each of which can be used as a single page, four pages, or anywhere in between. The two innermost pages fold around each other to create a central pocket, which I have filled with summer-to-fall hued goodies for scrapbook embellishment -- paper scraps, fabric scraps, and a couple of color samples I found inspiring.

The whole book ties shut with a slim ivory ribbon, keeping your pages safe should you choose to carry your memory book in a pocket or purse. Happy scrapbooking!
