Thailand Pages 20 & 21 (gatefold)

Today I have another set of scrapbook pages with gate fold. The picture above shows the main page on the left and gate fold pages on the right. And below we have close-ups of these.

Page 20:

I made a pocket from green vellum to hold the visitor's guide.  I added the sub-title and a couple of pictures on top of this.  For the background, I took two papers and cut the top four inches off of both.  Then I scotch-taped a 4" piece of blue to the 8" piece of green.  Then I cut 1/2" strips of a third patterned paper and added them - one at the bottom and one covering the join.  Then I added the text blocks and pictures as you see them in the picture.

Page 21 A&B:

For the two gate-fold pieces, I cut the 8" in half, taping them together with the green piece in the center and the blue pieces above and below.  Again I took two 1/2" strips and glued them over the joins. Finally, I cut it in half to create two pieces that were 6" wide to fit the gate-fold page protectors before adding the journaling and pictures.

Page 21 Inside the Gatefold:

Above you see what you see when you open the gate-fold.  The two flaps on either side and the main page in the center.

Page 21 C & E:

Here you see a picture of the two outer flaps that you see when you open the gate-fold. I used some green patterned paper to mat the titles, journaling, and some of the pictures.

Page 21 D:

The main inside page was created using two different papers and some gold washi tape before I added the pictures.
