SUPPLIES:

***A great project to use up alot of little leftover scraps and embellishments***

• 8 envelopes - size of choice (and even number of envelopes can be used)
• Card stock and paper scraps in coordinating colors for the images, journaling and photos
• Photos
• Assorted embellishments of choice- brads, eyelets, fibers, Magic Mesh, buttons, etc.
• Adhesive of choice
• Images Used from the the following pcCrafter collections:
• Gotta Dance Creatable
• Dinosaur Adventure Creatable
• Peek-a-Boo Creatable
• Never A Dull Moment

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Open envelopes, apply adhesive to inside flap and attach to front of another envelope.
2. Repeat until all envelopes are attached together and can be folded as an accordian.
3. You must use an even number for the envelopes to fold upon themselves correctly.
4. Cut 8 pieces of cardstock/paper to fit the front of each envelope. Design each envelope front indivdually and attach to front of envelope with desired adhesive.
5. Before attaching the last envelope front, attach 18 inches of coordinating fiber to envelope, then attach the envelope front to it. This will serve as the tie that wraps around the envelopes to keep it closed.
6. This "envelope book" can be themed in many ways. Use as a Grandma Brag Book, a Best Friends Book, or as we designed it - an All About Me Book for a child. Envelopes remain open in the back and small notes or treasures can be placed inside and saved.
