Double-sided adhesive sheets created a firm bond between the patterned paper and the chipboard. After covering the base on both sides, I attached a wire hanger and created a dimensional bouquet attached with hot glue. It can hang on a gift bag or the tree.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #242424; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, "system-ui", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIRnhEPNRBRlo1IyI5x58nuEpvQ9MiFKPwBaCeVkkCCEKcEIA5v-UQtULmQv2uDidCUYmK6PbkTFMGl9FllhWtGaCN751GGlAAIcJoc0Uq7C22Ifz5-usUszq325y4Vy6pPPL-eSVdOBHf7mri_oBNMav0l-anKfitvCZujV7nCofHPQut25Bf0Hmh1ds/s1280/CM%20Dec%2020.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIRnhEPNRBRlo1IyI5x58nuEpvQ9MiFKPwBaCeVkkCCEKcEIA5v-UQtULmQv2uDidCUYmK6PbkTFMGl9FllhWtGaCN751GGlAAIcJoc0Uq7C22Ifz5-usUszq325y4Vy6pPPL-eSVdOBHf7mri_oBNMav0l-anKfitvCZujV7nCofHPQut25Bf0Hmh1ds/w640-h640/CM%20Dec%2020.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #242424; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, "system-ui", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Now for the Blog Hop Prize.......

It started as a half-sheet of heavy black cardstock cut to 5.5 x 11. It was scored and folded at 4.25 with the remaining length creating the flap on the right-hand side. I covered the journal inside and out with patterned papers and extended the striped flap by gluing the white die cut on the right hand side only. There is a small magnet holding the white die cut to the cover on the left side. The signatures were scored and tied in place with the black eyelash yarn. The messy ribbon tassel is attached with a cute pear-shaped safety pin. I loved decorating the front with <a href="https://store.stampsimply.com/stamps/coffee-tea/stamp-simply-clear-stamps-coffee-or-tea-bundle.html">Stamp Simply's Coffee or Tea </a>set.
