Charlotte & Daniel - Mr & Mrs folded book

Time to create another book folding project.

I purchased a second hand book and a book folding pattern and a ruler and pencil and started following the pattern for the word Mr & Mrs.  I completed most of the book folding over 2 evenings whilst in front of  the television. 

 I started decorating the cover of the book with pink and light green card stock. I covered the inside page next to where the word started and ended to make the word stand out more. I attached two pieces of ribbon joined together with a diamonte buckle and fixed this across the book and attached the end to both the front and back covers of the book .
 I mat and layered card on the both front and back of the outside of the book and the spine. I cut 8 photo corners and fixed these on the outside of the book. 
I printed a message out stating the happy couple name , date of wedding and a phrase and mat and layered this onto green card and fixed to the front cover of the book.
 A personalised tag was printed and cut into a circle and matted onto a scalloped circle . Ribbon was attached to the tag and decorated with a heart shape embellishment. 
To finish decorating I cut hearts from pink card stock and buttons out of green card the two were fixed together with organza ribbon tied at the front. The hearts where fixed both inside and on both outside covers of the book.
Using my Cricut Gypsy and Gypsy font cartridge I created the word s Love and Marriage and welded the letters together before cutting to go on the spine of the book.
Finally the book was wrapped in clear cellaphane and finshed of with the personalised tag.
