"Ff" Is for File Folder. Fit five 4"x6" photos on one layout without sacrificing the clean, colorful look of your page: put them in a file folder that goes straight onto your layout.

1. Cut cardstock to 81/2" x 61/2". Cut 21/4" x 3/8" tabs into the short edge of cardstock.

2. Fold a 6" x 8" piece of cardstock in half to make a 4" x 6" card.

3. Stitch the card along the central fold of the file folder to attach both pieces of cardstock together. Decorate folder with patterned paper strips. Adhere photos to each side of the inside card.
