Its something I would use for unfinished LO storage or to transport pages with me when I work on them outside of my home.
I used the cardboard packaging from the Love, Elsie Lola papers and a sturdy 12" x 12" cardboard paper protector from a product box for the protective cover. I left about 1 1/2" of space in between the top and bottom pieces and joined them with Love, Elsie fabric paper to make a flexible joint. I cut the fold from the Love, Elsie cardboard packaging and did the same with the fabric tape. Next, I fashioned a fabric cover and added ribbon and buttons for my closure. Once I was finished, I realized it didn't have any protection from slipping out the top or bottom so I sewed on a piece of upholstery fabric that would easily safeguard the edges. It folds over the top and bottom before you cover the portfolio. I love it.
The LO inside is a work in progress but its under wraps for awhile.
Thanks for looking.

love this idea rachel!
I thought the same thing when I saw that movie! Your version is *way* cuter though! BTW, you should totally add these to your etsy store. I'd buy one for sure.
Oh, good. I think I'll make some more!!
it's always something with you, you creative girl!
nice work!
as Cher would say, "tres cool"! love it!!
You should sell these as kits! :)
When you say "Love Elsie Fabric Tape" do you mean the fabric 12x12sheets? or is this something i've missed??
Yes, its the 12 x 12 sheets. I've just purchased some supplies online to start the portfolio line for Etsy.
It'll be about a week before they show up but I'm excited about a new project.
Loving it. Great job. I might have to copy you and make one for myself. Cracks me up because I started watching that movie last night and I'm finishing it right now. What a weird coincidence!
Rachel, you are a genius. :) Love this,it's so cute!
Rachel, that is the cutest dang thing ever! Make me one and sell it on Etsy. I don't have the time to make one. You could make lots off of these girly! So stylish. Let me know if you do. Send me a link! :)
