This is a card for my boss who is retiring next month from the library. Since I'm going to send it around to other departments in the county and city buildings, I decided to make a book. I found a book cutting file online and used my Cameo. I just wish I could remember where I found it so I can give the person credit for it. I cut 2 of the book cover out of Flowers For You DP then glued them together so I have the same design on the outside and inside. I cut several of a slightly smaller size book. The cutting file is scored so the book has a 1/2 inch spine. Once I glued the smaller pages together, I glued it to the book cover. All the pages are stamped with a flower in opposite corners and a small sentiment. I wrapped white organza ribbon around the spine of the card then tied a satin ribbon on the outside spine for a "bow". Bonnie's name is computer generated and printed on pretty in pink cardstock, punched out with the oval scallop punch and added rhinestone dazzles. I cut a page in half and stamped the sentiment on it, distressed the edges and ran it along the regal rose ink pad. TFL

That 1/2 inch spine is really great....you could add as many pages as you like that way, and if you added photos, it would allow room for them. Love the way you placed the ribbon too.
