When you start folding it out, this is what it looks like.

...and eventually the inside.

Below are the instructions on how to make this booklet.

Small round punch

Small black gems

Black & White Gel Fineliner

White pigment ink

Paper distresser

Bits and pieces from worn pants, buttons and material.

Instructions:

1. Trim the grey cardstock to size. 30cm x 30cm. Measure 3 sections 9,5cm each and allow for 1/2cm in between, for the folds, on the width of the cardstock. Now measure 3 sections along the length of the cardstock, 1 x 6cm, 2x 12cm. Fold along all these fold lines. (See photo)
2. Trim on the width folds, where you allowed for the 1/2cm in between the sections. (See photo)

5. Fussy cut the various words, blocks and arrows from the patterned papers.
6. Use a black gel pen to do faux stitching around all of the patterned paper bits.
7. Trim the green, grey and teal cardstock for the bottom sections of the booklet. Width should be the same as the patterned paper, but the length only 7cm. Shape the top end and adhere only on the edges, to make a folder, to insert your photo’s.
8. Use Broken China and some water to splash over the bottom 1st section. Once dry, outline with a black gel pen.
9. Mat your photo’s with the various cardstock, leaving a slight border.
