Take two pieces of off white cardstock measuring 7" x 12" and two pieces measuring 5" x 12". Score on every half inch from the smaller side of all four pieces. Fold the score lines and create zig zag pattern. Join all the four pieces and create a frame. Distress the edges of the frame using vintage photo distress oxide. Cut two pieces of thin chipboard measuring 5.5" x 7.5". Also cut a piece of cardstock measuring 2" x 7". Glue all three pieces on the white cardstock and create a cover like a scrapbook. Glue the frame before we created with the cardstock inside the cover. Distress the edges of the cover. Glue satin ribbon and satin cord on the book cover to tie the book.
