\"\"<\/a>‘Tis moonlight, summer moonlight<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
\nAll soft and still and fair;
\nThe solemn hour of midnight
\nBreathes sweet thoughts everywhere,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But most where trees are sending
\nTheir breezy boughs on high,
\nOr stooping low are lending
\nA shelter from the sky.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And there in those wild bowers
\nA lovely form is laid;
\nGreen grass and dew-steeped flowers
\nWave gently round her head.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have been playing around with the Idea of Creating an ATC Book as an\u00a0 Inspire Project for a While Now. So when Gale Came up with the ATC Frame it Inspired had a Clever Notion!\u00a0 An Accordion Book of ATC’s.\u00a0 A Wee Little Hard Covered Book\u00a0 paired\u00a0 with a Lovely Emily Bronte Poem makes this a Sweet Gift or Keepsake.<\/p>\n

Technique;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(1)<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Calculate how many pages you want in you book plus front and back cover end papers.\u00a0 ( End Papers will be Glued directly to Front Cover- Back and to the Back Cover -Front to Attach Book Together.)\u00a0\u00a0 Using Black Cardstock,\u00a0\u00a0 cut out\u00a0 & fold pages to create the pages of your Book.\u00a0 (I used a Ruler and a Bone Folder to Score and help Create Clean Folding Lines and Edges)\u00a0\u00a0 Overlap and Glue pages together if necessary to Create a Multiple Page\u00a0 Book.\u00a0\u00a0 Set aside.<\/p>\n

(2) \u00a0<\/strong> Separate ATC Frame Front and Back setting aside the U Shaped Frame Insert.\u00a0 ( I used Fancy ATC Frame 02) .\u00a0 Using a piece of\u00a0 Chipboard,\u00a0 Trace ATC Frame Front and Cut out.\u00a0 This Creates the Backing\u00a0 Portion of your Cover.\u00a0 Decorate your Book Cover then Adhere Chipboard to Back.\u00a0 Cut Length of Ribbon, and with Ribbon Extending out on Both Sides,\u00a0 adhere to Chipboard to create the Ribbon Closure for your Book. Repeat for the Back Cover with the exception of the Chipboard piece.\u00a0 ( You only needed the Chipboard Pieces to Create the Back of the Frame Cover.)\u00a0 Set Aside.<\/p>\n

(3)<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Assemble you Book Pages Front and Back.\u00a0\u00a0 I used Antique Book Pages\u00a0 here as my Background then Beautiful Faces, Moons,\u00a0 Botanica and Insects.\u00a0\u00a0 Add Word Art.<\/p>\n

(4)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Adhere end papers to inside Book Cover &\u00a0 Back Cover to Assemble Book.\u00a0 Tie Ribbons to Close and You are Done!!!<\/p>\n

Tips:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 I Created ATC Templates to Make Cutting Easier and to keep a Uniformity.\u00a0\u00a0 For Me,\u00a0 I find it easier to Lay everything out First, \u00a0 then Glue. I Make Less Mistakes this way.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy this Little\u00a0 Bit of Whimsy!<\/p>\n

~*Happy Creating!*~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
