Create a versatile 6x6 album page featuring two side-opening pockets. This elegant page uses pale pink cardstock with decorative floral patterned paper strips, incorporating a hinged spine design. The two flap pockets open from the left and right, providing perfect storage for small cards, tags or memorabilia within your scrapbook album.
Take a 6x6 inch paper from your pad and score a half-inch line along one edge using your scoring board to create your hinge.
