Tonight I had a bad migraine and missed Young Women.  I was so sad that I had to miss it!  Since I don't have new pictures from tonight's activity, I thought I'd share the craft project we did at camp with you.  Our camp director had the fabulous idea to purchase pocket sized scriptures and cover them with scrapbook paper.  I took a big stash of paper and the girls personalized them with ribbon, punches and their imagination!

Since I was helping the girls make theirs, I didn't take any pictures at camp.  But, last week I helped Dalene's granddaughter make one and I quickly snapped some!  We even made one for her grandson that just graduated from High School.

At first I was a little worried … is it sacreligious to cover your scriptures?  Then I thought about how much more likely the girls (and myself) would be to keep their scriptures in their backpacks or purses if they were covered.  And realized what a wonderful idea it is! 

These are SO easy!  Have you ever covered a text book?  It's the same thing!

• Cut a 10 x 12 base piece.
• Fold one side (the long side) up approximately 2"
• Set the scriptures on the paper, with about 1/8" paper showing above, fold up the other side.
• Fold right side in about 2"
• Slide scriptures in, wrap around and fold left side up.
• Embellish as desired!

***I did glue the flaps down.  Be sure to not glue the "pocket" shut that the front and back cover slide into.

ENJOY!
