How do you add pull-out or flip elements to a scrapbook page?
I have scrapbook magazines and books that all show great ideas for pull-out tags in a pocket, or a flip-open photo with the journaling behind it. These interactive elements look so fun, but I've been afraid to try them because I slip the completed page into a sheet protector, and for anyone to see those added elements, they would have to pull the page out again. That seems impractical.
The books all start by saying you should put your complete pages in sheet protectors, in the "getting started" sections. Then they never say how these nifty extras are accessible to those who read the scrapbooks!
Have you used interactive elements in your scrapbooks? How do you incorporate them in the book?? Do you put them in page protectors? Do you modify the protector? HELP!!

1. cut a slit or cut out a whole section of the page protector so the pull out can still work.2. I am a consultant for Close To My Heart acrylic stamps, scrapbook and card making supplies.

3. I'm glad you asked this question. I've been wanting to know how to do this, too. The sites listed below have some directions. Mostly, you have to do one of two things:
1. slit the page protector
2. buy or make photo/embellishment flip pages
I have seen in local scrapbook stores that they carry some pre-made pages that have flip pages, etc.
You might also ask at the s'book store if they give classes on how to do this. The last source cited is for a book that supposedly tells how to do all this. I scrolled down and read the reviews. I'm not too impressed.
