Making a User Name & Password Reminder Book

It is super easy to make a pretty book with out spending a lot. I found this black one with velvet stripes on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Awesome! ....if your a small child. Not so much if your an adult.... unless it was pink, maybe....Okay it would still be hideous, actually even more so if it were pink. Sorry to get a little off track.

The before:

I chose to use this double sided designer scrap book paper. I use scrap book paper for all of my decorative paper because it is thicker and more durable than wrapping paper.

All you need to do is this:
First measure the height of  your book and cut the paper to size. You don't even need to use a ruler if you have a paper trimmer or straight edge. Just mark the paper with a pencil. After cutting the height I scored the paper at about 1" from the end, wrapped it around the book and marked the other end, so that about 1" would be left to score. Like this:

I glued the flaps down onto the inside of the book, so that it would stay put, using double stick tape.
That's It! Your Done!

I like that the spine is rounded and not creased. I do realize that it will get dirty and possibly tear, but it's not something that I move from place to place. It won't even be used a-whole-heck-of-a-lot. It's pretty though, and that makes me happy. It's the little things, you know, so why not keep it simple? What do you think?
