Allison from Bird Dog Press has partnered with her mother, a bookbinder, to develop a wonderful new form of scrapbook and keepsake-holder – these absolutely adorable handbound envelope books:
Allison and her mom created these handbound, coptic stitched books with letterpress signatures and envelopes enclosed inside. Allison wrote on her blog that she and her mom love these books for their clever ability to hold not just photos or
the written word, but also nearly any sort of keepsake neatly tucked
away – allowing a creative and organized way of keeping all of your
memorabilia in one place. I couldn't agree more!
There are tons more photos over on Allison's flickr page – and you can visit Allison over at her blog and design studio, Bird Dog Press.

I did something sorta similar, I made a flag book of 6 mini envelopes. One for each year of my partner and I being together. I sealed them with wax and enclosed mini copies of the cards we had exchanged over holidays, vdays, long distance and more. I love love envelopes in books.
