Envelope Album from 7gypsies

This envelope album from 7gypsies has a lot of possibilities. I’m inspired by Ali Edward’s use of it to scrapbook her Mom’s letters to her. I’ve got a bunch of letters I’ve saved from years ago that may now be preserved very nicely in this album.

Naked bookboard covers with 8 cream colored business sized tied envelopes bound in wire-o.

The wire-o can be removed if the album gets too thick. Replace it with metal rings instead.
