So tonight I had a skype session with the crazy girl Amy, she wanted to make the folder book that I showed 2 posts back. So I talked her thru it, and while she measured and folded and stuck...and unstuck...lol and ran back and forth hunting for maroon string..

I made this... it is totally made on the same design principle as the folder book, but for this I used 12 x12 scrapbook papers. Of course not being as long as a folder, you can only make one fold ,creating 2 pockets..instead of the double fold that makes 4 pockets.

I had this xmas papers in a box, god only knows how long they have been there, so I thought I would use them up.


I only had 6 sheets, so to bulk it out I made anther 4 pages using plain Bazzill.
















I used a different brand  of paper for the cover...and strung the pages in with red perle cotton.















I braided the loose strings and added a xmas tree button.



















I have plenty of leftover patterned strips that I can use to make tags and cards to slot into the inside pockets.
