1. Place the book with the bound edge at the bottom and glue pink floral paper over the left side of the book cover. Open the book and place the cover face down on a cutting mat, then trim the paper even with the edges of the book using a craft knife.
2. Mat one edge of another piece of pink floral paper on white cardstock and cut a scallop edge on the mat. Add three flower brads next to the matted edge. Cover the right side of the book cover with the matted paper, placing the matted edge on the left and trimming the paper even with the book edges. Re-punch the holes at the top of the book and Zot™ a bow of yellow ribbon between.
3. Cut a pocket shape out of pink floral paper. Mat on white cardstock and cut a scallop edge along the top of the mat. Glue the piece you trimmed off of the mat (the inverted scallop edge) across the front of the pocket, trimming it even with the mat. Glue the pocket to the left side of the book cover, applying glue only around the edges of the pocket. Foam tape the “fun” punch-out to the pocket. Computer journal on a pink tag punch-out, add a yellow flower brad to the tab and slip the tag in the pocket.
4. Cover the back cover of the book with pink floral paper. Once all the pages are complete, run yellow ribbon through the holes in the front and back covers to create two handles.
