Fall Scrapbook Class: Smoky Mountains Layout

This layout is what my scrappers and I made at our recent fall scrapbook class. We all used the Olivia paper pack, and our sketch design is the "Illusion" layout from Magic. (Feel free to click on any of the photos to see them larger.)

We made the right page interactive: the panel that says "Smoky Mtns" opens up like a top-fold card to reveal hidden journaling. The glitter brad helps hold the flap in place as you turn the pages in our family album. (Yes, I will have to cut the page protector so that the flap is on the outside. I will reattach the brad through the page protector so that it too is on the outside and can function as a latch.)

Can you believe these photos were taken 30 years ago?!? In case you're wondering, I'm the oldest child, so on the right page, that's me at the bottom left. (I was 8, my brother was 6, and my sister was 3.)
