Create a double-hinged 6x6 album page featuring layered pockets with decorative Japanese-inspired papers in blues, teals and florals. This project uses multiple paper layers, adhesive techniques and strategic hinging to build a dimensional page with substantial storage capacity. The finished piece showcases wave patterns and botanical motifs with white card inserts for journaling.
