Here is Jamie's show incase you missed it last week...she created a gorgeous minibook using the Reflections collection, Ruby Violet and coordinating embellishments..

 Measurements: 2 pieces of white cardstock, water color paper or chipboard-12in. x 6in. Cut four pieces of patterned paper-12in. x 6in. Fold Lines: On one piece of white cardstock, fold at 1in and again at 4in.from the edge. That will give you 3in. between the two score lines. On your other piece, fold at 3in. and at 4 in., giving you 1in. between the two folds.Adhere them together and cover the white cardstock with patterned paper.
