Wow it is still Friday....

I have been working more on my ledger/Mini Album. This is the cover so far waiting for the book board to dry completely... I can't wait to finish it and decorate it.





I cut and scored the book board and adhered the cover on the book board last night.

1. trace the cover on the book board, chip board. Trim to fit. then lay the cover on he book board and mark out where the binding will go. Then score several times from top to bottom to allow the book board to bend freely.




once the book board bens as you want it to do. Flip it over and adhere a wide piece of twill tape to the book board so the scored area does not break and separate this will allow years of viewing with out damage. after you adhere the twill tape make sure you close the book before the glue dries, to make sure all is lined up and the book will close properly. allow to dry in the closed position.



while you cover dries work on folding your pages and trimming them to fit your book.

I hope you try this with me... I am loving my new project so far.

Have a scrap day
