Day 23 - July 30

I have had these colorful business-card size envelopes hanging around since our wedding last year. We used them as a guest book; guests wrote messages on little cards and sealed them in the envelopes for us. It was terribly cute, but not many of the guests at the reception filled out the cards. So, we have lots of envelopes and paper cards remaining... Thus, this book.

I am behind a couple books, so today watch for the momentous half-way point - book 25, as well as two other structures...

Book 24: concertina spine with wrap-around cover
{paper} 'pages:' business-card size envelopes; cover: recycled box covered with scrapbooking paper; spine: translucent paper
{binding} pages sewn onto the spine at the mountain folds; covers glued

I neglected to consider the sewing and spine when constructing this cover. I would have worked better as a full wrap around that covered the spine. I wanted the book to feel like a bit of a portfolio of envelopes. And, I realized I forgot the trusty penny in the most recent days' photography. Apologies. I'll find another penny and make sure the next set have them.
