Make and Take with Kim Watson:
Match Book Mini Album

     
Looking for a quick gift for a teacher, a love gift for your man, a little something from Granma's purse? I have the perfect little 'something' that will take you no more than 10 minutes to throw together.
A match-book style mini book. This one, using Echo Park goodies from the July kit, Note to Self; I made for my daughter. I snuck it into her bag before going on hockey camp. 
Grab the sheet of  this great Echo Park 12 x12 paper tags.
 
Cut the sheet into as many tags as you need for your mini book.
 Sew a couple of them into pockets for notes, tags, memorabilia
  Cut a 12" strip of patterned paper as wide as your tags and fold the one side over the edge of the tags like a match book.
 Staple through the fold & tag layers to secure. Fold over the long flap to cover front of tags.

Trim away excess paper, allowing a tiny bit extra to slip under stapled flap edge. Now decorate cove & fill with sentiments, photos & paper love.
