Thank you Dena Bliss for sharing your "Cabinet of Favorites or Travel Portfolio" book with us. It may look tricky to make, but it was not, and could easily be adjusted to a different size. We liked the way there are pockets for small keepsakes as well as booklets for journal entries or drawings. And then to top it all off Dena showed us how to make a Turkish map fold that could go either in a pocket or under a belly band on the cover. Following are some examples of the books made by our members.
