Fabulous!
Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Fab{u}lous and Simple Basics kit by Simple Stories (papers, kit stickers and journal prompts)
Tools: Scor-pal scoring board in inches, Scor-tape, Scor-tool
Cardstock: black cardstock by DiscountCardstock.com
Embellishments: rhinestones by Recollections, Mod Podge
Other: cardboard
Begin with two pieces of cardboard. This book was sized as 8.5" x 5". You can opt to purchase heavy weight cardboard OR... you can be thrifty. I save cardboard from large packs of patterned pattern, save cereal boxes (the sturdy kind not the econo boxes we usually buy) or from the back of a pad of notebook paper. Cover the piece of patterned paper and cardboard completely with Mod Podge. I find that when you cover both surfaces with liquid glue, you avoid air bubbles behind the paper. Cover both sides of the cardboard. Set aside to dry.
Cut a piece of black cardstock to 8" x 6.5". Score with the Scor-pal scoring board and Scor-Tool along the 6" side every 0.5". Add Score-tape to one side of each score mark and fold.
Adhere to the cardboard covers.
Cut black cardstock for the pages at 8" x 5". Adhere to the spine of the book.
Embellish the pages with the fun stickers and journal prompts from the Simple Stories Fab{u}lous kit.
Doesn't this make a great gift for a sweet teenager? I know my sweet girl will love it! I left plenty of spaces to add fun pictures and high school mementos.
Thanks for visiting,
