Hi everyone,  just wanted to take this opportunity to you all for joining us this weekend. It has been amazing and we still have 7 more guest designers, sketch 157 and a big announcement yet to come!

So have you all been enjoying yourselves? If you hav'nt joined our Pass the Parcel, I highly recommend it. I have eye spied some My Little Shoebox, Webster Pages, some Etsy shop goodies and the cutest cupcake stamp/template on my hop!

Enough of my rambling, here is my sketch. I chose to do a simple mini book sketch and step by step for you.

Step by Step

• Trim 1 sheet of cardstock into 4 x 6” squares
• Trim 1 sheet of cardstock 11” x 6” and 2 x 6” x 6”
• Now choose a selection of pattern papers and trim 12 squares 51/2” x 51/2”
• Stick 8 to your 6” x 6” kraft  squares leaving a small border
• Page 2 - Trim pattern paper 12” x 51/2” and score at 1” and 61/2”.  Now fold up using the 1” flap to overlap. Trim if needed.
• Take the 11” x 6” cardstock and score at 6”
• Cut 2 pieces of pattern paper 4/1/2” x 51/2”
• Not stick the 2 pieces of pattern paper form above and 2 51/2” squares to the 11” x 6” cardstock
• Mount your photos onto the coordinating cardstock
• Place your mounted photos onto your pages leaving some blank pages for journaling and decoration
• Now decorate your pages using left over papers, cardstock, and the die cuts. I use punches a lot to make flowers J
• Have fun using the tabs for added interest. Finally decorate your front cover.
• Finally punch holes to add the book rings.
