The other day Ike said she thought I was aiming towards another pocket letter with all these ATCs - well she was correct to some extent because first I made an ATC flip book...

but actually I had planned to make an Mini fold out Album / ATC holder out of a 12 by 12 - like I did earlier in the month (Day 17). Some of you asked for more details...so here's version #2:

I took a double sided piece of 12 by 12 - this is from Magic Moments from The Works.
I scored it horizontally at 4in and 8in and vertically at 3in and 9in.

I cut slits as shown and folded tabs on the top and bottom side pieces.

I used narrow double sided tape to stick these down to make the pockets.

Next I cut pieces to fit the middle section - I used papers from Making Cards and Papercraft June 2018. As this is relatively thin, I used two thicknesses - the underneath paper upside down.

Once again I folded flaps down - the middle section by cutting a slit half way down the middle and folding the flaps back.

Now it's time to decorate and finish...

 

On the back two middle sections I stuck double sided tape and then ribbon.

The next pictures show the finished item with ATCs inserted:

The outside two sides have postcards attached - each showing the riddle

As I was going to St. Ives,

I met a man with seven wives,

Each wife had seven sacks,

Each sack had seven cats,

Each cat had seven kits:

Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,

How many were there going to St. Ives?

In keeping with the rhyme I wanted to decorate the rest with many cats and include cat ATCs.

And because it's almost October 31st, there is also a Halloween influence...

on opening there can be seen a Tattered Lace die cut cat, Tim Holtz ephemera, stamped cats, pumpkins and tree from a stamp set in my stash which no longer has any label, the spider web and spider SU..
