Day 28 - Owning It! - A Fold book

Here's another simple fold book--no glue, no stitching. Just a folded sheet of paper. I like these because they are clever. They are so simple that the challenge is more about the content than the book structure.

For this book, I chose a favorite quotation by Oprah Winfrey. I searched out images to match the various lines of the quote, designed the page in a desktop publishing program and printed it out on cream-colored lightweight card stock. The structure is only really three folds and one cut. It's easier to show you in photos than to explain it in words.

Credit for this structure and several others I'll be using goes to Alisa Golden, author of "Making Handmade Books: 100 bindings, Structures and Forms." This is becoming my new bible.
