When I got back to the cottage, I opened the little book up and saw that the book was made from one sheet of 8-1/2x11 paper, folded and cut a certain way, and refolded to make the book.
This poetry project is from a group called Origami Poems Project and they have a website here:
The website has a lot of info, including directions on making your own little book.
I tried the same method using my scrapbook supplies to make my niece a little birthday memory book.
I started with one 12x12 sheet of Jenni Bowlin patterned paper. This pattern is one of my all-time favorites:
and some miscellaneous embellishments:
I folded the 12x12 as they show on the website, and embellished each section with my Jenni Bowlin embellies. I kept in mind which section would be the cover page, etc :
I cut and refolded the piece
to create the cutest little mini:

Oh wow this is so adorable! A project I would want to lift, thanks for the idea. Great products for it too. As for your question on my blog. If you are asking about the sweet pea spray, I did cut that out after stamping it and coloring it.
