This card keeper that Melanie designed is such a GREAT idea!  Not only would it be great for cards ... I think it would make a great little bill file, or accounting log, or hostess file, or receipt keeper, or coupon collector ... WOW!  It's just a GREAT little keeper! 

Above is the front of the keeper ... closed.  Here is a shot of the back:



And opened:



I LOVE that Melanie constructed this herself.  Here are some photos that I think you'll find are pretty self explanatory!



This is looking at the keeper from the back.



Notice that Melanie attaches the manila envelopes to one side of her acordion folded cardstock.



Here is the front view.



This is the back view.



This is looking at the first spread inside the card keeper.



I LOVE Melanie's idea of writing the special ocassion on the outside of the envelope!



This is an inside spread in the album.



This is the inside back cover spread.



What an AWESOME project Melanie!  Thank you so much!



Happy Paper Crafting!
