Club Scrap Take Wing Blog Hop

Welcome to another fantastic

Club Scrap Blog Hop

This time you see the use of the September 

papers and stamps from the Take Wing kit.

Have you come over from Tricia's wonderful

blog with all her great ideas?

Well if you get lost, you can always find all the partipants

at the Club Scrap Creates Blog.

I also have a sidestep on the

Technique Junkies Design Blog

with a technique card:

So here is my special project

 that I want to share with you.

It is not my own idea, it was a friend

that showed this booklet to me

and I knew right away I wanted to make

this booklet for my retreat memory book.

I will be at the October retreat and hope 

to meet up with many old and new Club Scrap friends.

This booklet is 5 inch by 6 inch and inside has

many pockets to put in memorablia.

The big stamp is from my first retreat.

The black letters are chipboard letters

fromthe Hopekit.

A view on the inside of the book:

5 pages each with 3 pockets.

The back of the book with a stamp we got

last year at the retreat.

A closer peak at the inside of the booklet.

A little stamping only for I wanted to leave

space to add all the items fromthe retreat.

For sure i will share this book again

when it is filled with wonderful memories

after the retreat.

Ok now you want to know how I made this:

The covers are 2x  5 1/4"x 61/4 chipboard

covered with the white printed 8x11 inch paper.

The spine of the book is green covered grunge paper.

Here you see the outside.The green spine is

glued 1/2 " over the front and the back cover.

The inside of the outside over.

The middle part is the bendable part.

Let is dry real good before you add the inside pages.

Now you want to know how tomake the inside pages:

You need to cut the paper down to 10 x 9 "

and this is the template:

in paper it look like this:

Folded in half you contruct the pocket.

When folded, you have two flaps on the

outside. You can use a border punch

if you like on these flaps for decoration.

These flaps should be on the left side of your page.

These flaps are used to put the book together.

Glue on top and bottom (use some red heavy tape

or a line of bookbind glue), so a pocket is constructed

on each page.

This is just to show you the front of the book

will be glued to the cover.......do this after you have 

covered this chipboard with design paper.

For the backside you need to cut an extra stripof

5x5 inch,fold in half (lengthwise) add the punch

border and glue to last page and cover (after decorated 

with design paper).

These are the tags that ore inside the pockets

with only a little decoration for now,

but it will be filled after the retreat with lots more.

Hope it all makes sense to you, but

you can always email me if you have questions.

Now let's hop on and see what

the ever creative Kay has for you

on her Keepsakes Blog.

Happy Hopping!

Have a creative day!
