My craft wife Eileen Hull’s new journal die is about to come out, and to help preview it at the recent Creativation show, I made this receipt journal. I don’t journal, and I don’t put photo albums together, but I do collect a lot of receipts. I especially wanted something I could keep in my car so I could stash receipts as soon as I got out of the store. 

To make the accordion file system, I bought some envelopes at Staples, cut the tops off of them, and then glued them together with spray adhesive. Then I just added month tabs on each pocket and glued the whole thing inside the front and back journal covers. Eileen’s dies are so versatile!
