The Folio Journal die cut is fabulous as the base of my project & there are so many different ways to use it as you will see as you hop along! I settled on making a Junk Journal, although I also have a fabric book in the works. On the cover you can see the Mandala Thinlet was used. Links to products below.

Let's Have a Few Peeks.
This book spine has 5 signatures but I made mine with 4. Like Eileen's other book dies, there is the option to use elastic so the signatures can be pulled in & out. You can also bind the book, permanently through the holes that are in the spine for example.
For the spine I made a removable ribbon cluster. I love these! I left room to add some more charms as I build my book.
Here is the front inside of my book, you can see the page pocket from the thinlet die, so handy!
Here is the front of the 1st signature. I used lots of gel prints in this book & left overs from other projects. It feels so good to use up my stash. You can follow my blog to be notified for new posts. Thanks so much for joining the teams on this exciting day. I hope we see you in the Facebook Live, if you miss it you can always watch on replay!
