Jacob's Ladder Animal Book
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 10:20 am
I did this last week with the Jacob's Ladder kit I got at the Mothership in Sept. I always wanted to try one of these. This one had papers from Be Still and Simply Beautiful. I couldn't use the box it came with as I kept adding chipboard pages until the ribbon ran out, two extra I think. So I made a paper sleeve to slide it into as seen in the first photo. Added matte of Body and Soul brown on top with embellies from Scrapbook Takeout. Most of the embellies on the inside pages are from ST also.
I painted all the edges of the chipboard pages with dark brown paint before assembling it. I would recommend if the book is going to be handled a lot to use bookbinding glue to attach the photos and all the mattes so it is really well glued. Also make sure you pull the ribbon fairly tight when assembling. I think it stretched but the bulk of the added mattes and photos helped tighten it up.
