This is a card I saw on Quietfire Design "Letters Live" video last Thursday given by Kathy Jo. I loved the way the pages were attached. Something new for me. You can see the video HERE

I'm using a few dies "Calligraphic Elements 3" 11pce set, "Butterfly Flourish" 3pce set, "Happy Birthday Small", "My Garden Flowers" 3pce set and "Friends" from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design "Calligraphic Elements 3", "Butterfly Flourish", "Happy Birthday Small", "My Garden Flowers" and "Friends"      

And I'm using a bunch of quote rubber stamps from Quietfire Design ("You Can Never Have..."); ("I Shut My Eyes..."); ("Don't Let Yesterday..."); ("Fill Your Paper..."); ("Let The Beauty of..."); ("The Secret Of Genius..."); ("Create Without Limits").

Cut, scored and folded my cream toned cardstock to create the card structure. Cut the pages and card overlays from Tim Holtz Ideology Paper Stash "Crowded Attic". Adhered to front, back and spine. Scored the pages, alternating either end of the pages, scoring at 1/2" from the end, adhering it to the next page and then onto the card.
