HUT FULL OF QUOTES, SAYINGS & VERSES

Here is a mini book I started with some Debbie Mumm paper.  I'm going to fill it full of my favorite quotes, sayings and Bible verses.  I'll decorate the pages as I fill them with quotes, etc.  The ribbons hanging down are used for bookmarks.  There is a brown one on the end, but it's hard to see in this photo.

Video of this project at end of post. :)

The outside was made using a piece of cardboard that came in a pack of paper.  I cut it 5 3/4" x 4 1/2".  Then I cut pattern paper the same size (x 4 for inside and outside of front and back covers) and used Tacky Glue to adhere it to both sides of the cardboard.  I then cut a piece of yellow pattern paper 5 1/4" x 4" ( x 2 times) for the inside of both the front and back covers.

The inside pages are cardstock in a variety of colors.  They were actually cards from a Value Pack which are pre-scored for easy folding, and I simply cut down the score line which cut them in half.

I used my Crop-a-dial to punch holes and binder rings I got from Office Depot (100ct) that are 1" rings.  I centered the inside pages (which are 4 1/4" x 5 1/2") vertically so that the covers are larger on top and bottom and right side.

The 5 ribbons to be used for bookmarks in the back were all cut at 13 1/2".  (Shown in video below). They really don't have to be that long, but I wanted them long enough to hang out of the bottom and add a little bit of character along with being functional.  :)  This is how the bookmarks in our church hymnals were when I was a teenager.  That's where this idea came from.

This is my submission for Robyn's Color Challenge.  There is very little pink on the cover (the birdie's wild feather hair), but there are pink pages on the inside!  Click here to go to Robyn's challenge.

Enjoy!  Janis
