Make Your Own File Folders Your Way

You know what’s fun? Doing a project then getting someone else’s take on it. Or in this case…several someone elses!

I recently created some file folders out of 7gypsies 12 x 12 scrapbook papers. This video has instructions for the very simple process:

I was curious to see what someone else might come up with if they started with my process, but then made it their own so I threw that challenge out to a few of my fellow CCB Crew Members. They blew me away with their file folder renditions!

So the next time you see a project and you think to yourself, “Okay it’s cute but it’s just not me,” or “It doesn’t really fit my style,” remember that you can give your own personal touch to any project, style, or theme to make it your own. That’s what crafting is all about!
