Instructions: Start by cutting two pieces of cardstock 6 1/2" x 5 5/8" for the front and back cover of the book along with another piece of White cardstock 2" x 5 5/8" for the spine. If you want your book to be sturdy I suggest multiple layers. I personally did 3 layers. Next glue a 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" piece of cardstock to the center portion. Now glue the front and backs to the piece of cardstock attached to the center piece of the book. Allow for 1/8" (4mm) gap between the pieces to allow the book to open and close without binding. Flip the book cover over and attach a piece of designer paper measuring 3 7/8" x 7 3/4" to the center piece. Attach two pieces of designer paper measuring 7" x 7 3/4" to both the front and back of the cover. Flip the book over and fold all the edges down and attach to the cover. Finish the front and back off by attaching designer paper 6 1/8" x 5 1/4" to each side. The pockets are made from 1 piece of card stock 6 5/16" x 5 1/4" and a second piece 3 1/4" x 6 5/16". For the smaller piece, score 1/4" in from each side to allow the piece to wrap around the larger piece. Once scored, glue the 2 pieces together. You will need to repeat this 4 times. Cover the flaps on the pockets with card stock cut slightly smaller. There are a total of 3 panels for each pocket. The first panel measures 2 3/4" x 5 1/8". The second panel measures 3 1/4" x 5 1/8" and the final panel measures 6" x 5 1/8". You will need 4 of each panel. In order to attach the pockets to the book, take a piece of card stock 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" and score it every 1/4". Fold it like an accordion and attach it to a piece of cardstock 1 7/8" x 5 1/4". The pockets will slip over the tabs. Finally, finish by attaching the pages to the inside and decoration to your hearts content! Some of the flowers were stamped with Memento Grey Flannel and distressed with Memento Dandelion while others were stamped with Memento Grey Flannel and distressed with Peacock Feathers.
