One Page Scrapbook

My upline, Kay Pekin, sent me this scrapbook last year.  It was made from one 12" x 12" cardstock paper and several cut papers.

 I liked it so much, in fact, that I recreated it and had other consultants make samples of it.  I used what was updated paper, but it's easy enough for you to use any paper you have.

Updated version (but since retired):

As you can see, I didn't want to use ribbon - making 15 kits, it would be too much.  Instead, I used hook and loop to make a closure from the back.  If I were making this a specific themed book, I'd add the theme or person it was about under the flap.  Then it would be a sweet surprise upon opening!

Let me show you a little more of the meat...

This is opened up completely.  The bottom three sections could be used for journaling or some smaller pictures.  I went with two background and texture papers, but you can do more if you'd like.

You need a total of:
10 B&T papers each measuring 3.25" x 4.25"
10 cardstock each measuring 3.5" x 4.5"
6 cardstock each measuring 3.5" x 2"
1 white cardstock (for front) measuring 3.5" x 4.5"
Band cardstock measuring 1" x 5.5"
Band B&T paper measuring 0.75" x 5.5"

This is the view with the six flaps folded into the middle section.  The right side is folded into the middle, followed by the left side, and you see the front.



Let's score the 12" x 12" paper...
On one side, you'll score at 3 3/4", 4", 7 7/8", and 8 1/8".
Rotate the paper 90 degrees, and score at 2 3/8" and 7 1/4".

Fold on all score lines.  Cut out the small sections (as seen above).

Once you've adhered all the paper to the book - NOTE: don't adhere the last cardstock piece to the back yet!  This will cover the band end - you're ready to add the band.  Adhere the B&T piece to the cardstock.  Add the Hook and Loop Dots (Z1805) to the one end of the band and the front of the book.  Finger fold the band around the edge of the book.  Adhere the back of the band to the back of the book.  Then adhere the cardstock over the band giving the back a clean look.

Decorate the front of your book.  Here, I used the Stitched Oval (1.75" size) thin cut (Z4187), cut flowers, and sequins.

If you have gifts to give, this is an easy one to knock out several at a time.  They're appreciated too!
