Searched Graphics Fairy (thegraphicsfairy.com) and the public domain for images. I don't own any games or cards stamps. Saved and inserted the images in PowerPoint to resize. Made 2 copies of the book image. Attached WC paper to printer paper with double-sided tape, since my WC paper was not a standard size. Printed, removed printer paper. Adhered heavy White CS to back of WC paper. Fussy cut all images. Used the MS Scoring Board to make the book binding (outer edge) by scoring the book 2x and folding. Took strip of White CS cut to the length (top to bottom) of the book. Used the Scoring Board to score at every 1/4". Folded to make small accordian (these are my book pages) and glue the top edge of this to the top inside of the book, set aside. Adhered 52 Card and bridge to Medium Blue CS leaving a gap in the 52 Card image and inserted 2 playing cards. Next, adhered the last (bottom) page of the book to the 52 Card sheet, keeping the edge binding at 90°, attached dimensional squares, giving height to match side binding height, then attached the bottom edge of the scored (pages) to the 52 Card image. Adhered the Table No. Couple No. cards together at the bottom, fanning them into position, adhered to 52 Card image with dimensional squares. Then stamped "You're Invited" UPSIDE DOWN!! Oh, what to do. So I cut out the Medium Blue CS from the top and the arch of the bridge with my X-Acto knife. Put Light Blue CS behind AFTER stamping "You're Invited" on the CS 1st. Then ran out of ink (what more can go wrong?) so to fix that I used Micron pens 005 and 05 in black to fill in. Done. All accomplished by crawling up to my craft room. My feet had surgery so I'm in a surgical boot on one and a surgical shoe on the other. HEHEHEHE! Life is always such fun!

This is fabulous, Pat. I'm tickled for sure to think it's coming my way, but I just hope it wasn't too expensive to mail!! It's quite appropriate actually; although I don't actually play bridge, my aunt did once try to teach us. I hope you recover from the surgery soon!

Oh, yay, I can see it now! This is unbelievable! Just reading the description was a lesson in card building. The book is amazing, and I love the images you found! Sabrina is one lucky Teapotter! Thanks so much for everything you had to go through to play in my challenge - I hope you recover quickly!

What a phenomenal series of steps to complete your project- but certainly worth all the extra effort and a lot of patience. Hope you are back on your feet soon - I can see your hands and creative brain functions were not hampered by the foot surgery!! Wow!
