Hello, my friends!
Today I'm back with my third and final project using the "Paris In My Heart" Printable Journal Kit from Ephemera's Vintage Garden!
With my impending trip to Paris in mind, I was going to decorate a box to place all my trip momentoes in.
My very talented teamie at EVG just posted an incredible box made using another printable journal kit.
(You can see it HERE)
So I decided to come up with something different.
I hope you like it!

Have you seen any of the incredible folded book art on Pinterest?
WOW!!
I remember doing this when I was a kid.
Back then we used the Sears catalogue or a phone book.
I would having to wait until the winter catalogue expired because it was always the biggest one.
I made several that had different patterns and designs.
For this project I made the most simple design.
It's a great place to tuck in all kinds of goodies.

Here's what I did:
I found an old book I had that was the size I wanted.
I started at one end and simply folded each page into the center until every page was folded.
I then inked the folds with several colours of distress ink.
For some reason the ink isn't showing in my photo but it's pretty.
I then printed the journal cover page from the kit, and adhered it to the inside of the front and back cover.
Then I printed out some of the tags and ephemera from the kit.
I inked the edges of everything and simply tucked them into the book.
* * * * *
For photo purposes I simply tucked them all into the middle section
but you can tuck something into each of the folds.
They stay in there nice an snug.
This wonderful kit makes such a beautiful display!

You can also place it on a shelf with the back cover up at a 45 degree angle.
Then the pretty back cover shows like this:
