To assemble book:
Use a shipping tag as a template to cut two covers from raw chipboard. Decorate front with varied stamp designs (the ones I used are by Club Scrap). Use letter and quote stickers to make title "Quote unquote" (Making Memories and Chatterbox). Reinforce holes with 7 Gypsies canvas reinforcements. Use a binder ring to assemble book. Tie strips of ribbon, ric rac or fiber onto ring.

Love it sis!!!
I love this--it's a great idea to just have in your workspace, to keep track of your quote stamps--and the matching stamps in the set--and you can add to it as you get new stamps--oooh, the ideas are coming, now! How cool, TFS!
WOW! this is incredible! ~LOVE IT! :D
