A month ago I found these great kraft folders with elastic closures on clearance at Borders for only 50 cents! Needless to say I bought a bunch of them! When I was growing up, my parents always saved my pictures, report cards, and projects and as I got older it was so fun to look back on it all. So, I am doing the same for my boys and I thought this folder would be perfect for keeping track of all of the special artwork, writing, etc. that my oldest son does this year in Kindergarten.
I also created this for Stamp Something's first challenge of the year which is 'Something New'. I used my new Cosmo Cricket chipboard pieces (The Wildest ABC's cigar box) that I received for Christmas from my son. My hubby took him to our LSS and he picked them out all on his own...what great taste!
Here are some close ups of the Unity stamps and a picture of the inside of the folder. It is about a 1/2" thick so it will hold a fair amount. I think I might need to decorate the inside a little too!
Thanks for visiting today! I'll be back tomorrow with another card!

what a great idea! he will appreciate it so much later, and be thrilled you used what he bought you to make it. super cute!
So cute! I try to keep things like this for my kids, but with five of them, the stuff is all spread out in various boxes - and it adds up fast! Bet I could adapt this so I had a box for each of the kids for each school segment, rather than year (elementary, middle and high school)
Wonderful project! I have all of my girls keepsakes in a boot box, so you have me looking bad. lol I better get busy on something more creative, huh?! :)

Very cute page! Love the craft background! For some reason, I'm afraid to use a background other than white - I need to expand my background colors!
