A Springtime Signal

Some day it might be fun travel to Holland and see all of the tulips in bloom.  These beauties are part of the spring planting at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum....

One of the pages I find useful in the Cricut mini books program is pocket/envelope style containers that enclose treasures.  I have used them for tags, receipts, and thumb drives.  Obviously, inside a book the cannot hold the volume of dense materials or stacks and stacks of receipts, tags, etc.  These pages do provide a quick place to hold these type of items, however, and most of the styles in the program have a flap that can be secured.

The envelope page below is a nice size in comparison to the page size of the book,  When the flap is closed, it the page fits inside/below the top ring, but when opened it will extend beyond the top edge of the book.  Each enclosure page, no matter what the style of the book, is designed to fit inside the book when the enclosure flap is closed, be secured in the hole-punch and ring binder system like neighboring pages,  all of the punched holes align (particularly important on multi-fold pages,) and marked in the cutting process to indicate all fold lines.  I have discovered that some of the other Cricut programs, like the 'small packages' cartridge, for example, do no indicate any fold lines.  Mini books is almost foolproof!
