2016 Fall Happy Mail #2

2016 Fall Happy Mail #2 Front

This folder is very similar to the one I posted yesterday. The next two are of a similar design, but different.

To make the base, I glued two pieces of scrapbook paper together (it is single sided and rather thin) and used more of the same paper to make the hinges. Knowing that the booklet would be rather thick, because of all the quote cards, I left 1/8 of an inch on the right side fold and about a 1/4 inch on the left side between the pages before glueing the hinges down.

For the closure, I wrapped a ribbon around the  booklet and tacked it in place. Then I glued down the decorations over the ribbon. I like using a ribbon closure because it keeps the goodies and stuff from falling out and because the ribbon is flexible. When I add stuff, I can still keep the folder closed - the ribbon just gets shorter.
