Receipt Pocket Binder

The bought a 12" x 12" paper pad of DCWV Chalkboard paper that I dearly love.  After having it for a while, I realized I would never use it for a layout because it wouldn't work with any photos I wanted to scrap.  I love these papers so much I knew I should use it on something I could look at often.  I decided to make myself a pocket carrier for my purse to put receipts and coupons in.  In measures 4.5" x 7" and was very simple to make. The cardstock is so thick it is very durable without the use of chipboard.  I cut out 4.5" x 7" pieces for however many pages I wanted and then cut out that many again (same size) for the pockets.  Take the pieces that will be used for pockets and score them at 3.5". Fold at score line and place scored line over bottom of page (creates a pocket on both sides of page). Adhere right side of pocket to page. Repeat for all pages. Make a front and back cover. I then used my Cinch to bind it with 5/8" wire.
