Mini File Folders and Library pockets

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I love these two elements. Could anyone please share with me what you do with the mini file folders in your scrapbooks? Do you use them for journaling?

I would love to see photos of how they look in your books. Also if you use a brad to decorate the front what do you do to hide the ends when you open it up? I guess you would just cover it with more paper? If you can please share a photo.

The library pockets look cute with a tag in them. Does anyone do anything else with them?

These are also 2 of my favorite elements. I will admit that they're a bit tricky to work with if you use page protectors but I recently made a couple gift albums that did not use page protectors and because it was only 6x6 I used all kinds of hidden tags, pockets and folders for journaling. It ended up being really interactive because you had to open thing and pull tabs, etc.

Here's one example:

And open:

Sometimes if the outside of the folder is really decorative I will simply use it as an accent piece on the page and not even use the inside. I've also done the reverse - cut the folder in half, and just used the half with the tab and journalled on there and slapped it on the page.

I use the library pocket to put my journaling in and also memorabilia. My most recent pocket I did was for Pooh's Ride- I had a fast pass stub that I put in the pocket along with the journaling.
