I made the one on the right first, but then I thought it was a bit much for to make at a upline meeting, so I simplified with the one on the left, but then I didn't like people having to tie and retie when opening, so that is when I went to velcro

Yes, or well to be the best of my ability I will tell you how to make this little scrapbook.
The outside if folded measures 3 1/2 x 3 1/2, I used an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock and cut three of them. So I cut 3 1/2 x 8 and scored at 3 1/2 and 3 1/2 and 1 on one end. On one I used velcro and others I just tied them with ribbon closed, I decided the velcro was better because some people can't or won't tie the ribbon and they complain. So I used velcro to shut and then embellished with ribbon.
The inside is cut 3" x 12" using a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock. Then I just scored at 3, 3, and 3 to make for squares. I attached one end to the inside of the mini scrapbook and then the others pop out when opened. You could put quotes, pictures, etc on them.
I just used buttons, ribbons, and stamping to embellish and decorate each little page and the outside.
The outside other two colors are cut 1/4 in smaller each time.
Hope this is understandable!
I got the outside template that was actually bigger off of Stampin' Up! website and then I changed the sizes to make if more cost efficient. I can use 1 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper and 1 12 x 12 sheet plus scraps for the two outside colors to make three of these.
Thanks for your interest!
