January 29, 2012 Nature Book (for Blue and Gold)

Good Evening everyone! Woooooowhooo!!!! I am done. This is the last part of the decorations for the tables at Blue and Gold. I made 10 books; one for each Scout in the Wolf Den.:0) Here is what I used to make them.... Cartridge: Campin' Critters : book Cardstock: Recollections : binding and lettering                   Bazzil (book) Glue: Glossy Accents Crop-a-dile I used the Glossy Accents because it seems to be a good hold for the binding. The paper inside is just plain printer paper cut to size. There is a template on the cartridge; but I just decided it would be quicker to cut and score the pages. Hope you like them. Have a great night!:0)
