Why seal little envelopes when you can tuck little notes and hearts inside them instead?

Use one large envelope net and only fold two sides - an ingenious pocket to keep photos and tags safe!

Look back on all the places you've been with this colourful novel idea.

Don't feel like you have to cover every inch of a scrapbook page - let it breathe by placing elements along one straight line.
9. Accordion book

Take a completely different take on the 2D layout and decorate separate pages of a mini accordion-fold book. All wrapped up with a ribbon, it's the perfect pocket-sized papercrafted gift if ever we've seen one!
