Paper Folder

No I'm not talking about origami silly! I'm talking about an old file folder that organises my scrapbook and crafting paper! I foudn this old filer folder at the thrift store and decided to dress it up a bit. I wrote the entire passage of Genesis 1:1-19 on a piece of white printer paper, photo copied it onto a piece of off-white scrapbook paper, the printed over it again the word PAPER. Then I cut out a few little squares and displayed the year on the bottom. The ribbon at the top doesn't actually hold the folder closed, I just glued the ribbon into the backside of the front folder, then glued it to the front and toped it off wiht a bottom. No buttoning and unbottoning here, just a trick on the ole' eyes! I also glued a nice sqaure piece of paper over the glued ribbon on the backside, so it would all look finished and well- done. I just LOVE my new paper folder!
