Finished Product

First I got a scrap fabric and cut it about 6"x10" and Ironed it in the shape I wanted

as I ironed the ends up I cut the corners so it looks like this

then I got 2 pieces of cardboard for each side and holepunched it as in the photo

then I sewed the cover on by going through the holes

then decorate! I cut one longer piece for the background and then 2 smaller ones for the writing area and the quote {which has a fabric backing on it}

then I decorated the cover {the final one had a ribbon around it to tie it together}
