First, gather your supplies... scrap book paper in 4.5x6.5, ribbon, double sided tape, glue dots, index cards (for your message), photos in 4x6 and craft glue, just in case.
Second, cut a length of the ribbon (about 3 inches)...
Next you want to create a hem on the ribbon ends. So take a small square of double sided tape, place it about a half inch up from the end of the ribbon, fold the end over to stick and repeat on the other side.
Now take a glue dot, stick it on the hem of the ribbon, one on each side (it's there in the center)...
Select two of the same paper patterns and, on the blank side, stick the ribbon at the edge, in the middle. Bring the two pages together and give the ribbon-covered dots a good pinch...
Pause for a kit-kat from your niece's Halloween bag...
Print or write your information on the 3x5 blank index cards (I did ours in publisher)...
Finally, with your double sided tape, tape the back of the photo, center it on the bottom page and stick. Then double sided tape the message card, center it on the top page and stick.
They haven't been sent yet so I don't want to put up the final-final product but this will give you a good idea of the final look.
Good luck and go craft!
