January Project Challenge

Our Product Challenge for January is the Medium Black Portfolio.  We love this product and if you ever have the chance to play with one you will too!  They are about 7 x 9" and come in a two pack for about $4.  They come in three colors; black, red, and gray stock that you would most likely cover with patterned paper. We love that once you put things inside and it's closed up with the elastic straps, it becomes like a little present all snug and tight.

We have made them for vacations we have taken, invitations to a girls getaway week (wouldn't you want to go if you got one?), and a Year in a Glance where each page had a picture that represented something significant that happened each month of the year.  

There are just so many ideas...and we hope that this week we can give you a few more from the design team.  Let's get started!
