I started this project thinking I was making a Christmas photo folio… but halfway through I realized I had accidentally designed the PERFECT Christmas recipe album! 🎄❤️
This Lay Flat Folio features a unique construction that allows the pockets to lay flat, making the pages easy to enjoy as you add recipe cards, photos, journaling, and keepsakes. It holds 16 photos and includes 8 pockets, making it a wonderful keepsake for family recipes, holiday memories, or a handmade Christmas gift.
