Two ways to use this sheet

Start with one small arrangement

Keep spoilers out of the note and sign the A note from panel before folding.

Give each piece a job

Keep the main message on Why I Chose This Book; its first prompt is For. Arrange it beside this piece before deciding what to attach. Use a For or From label to identify the memory without covering its main writing space. Paper, scissors and glue are enough for these suggested paper arrangements; use your own photo or saved paper only if it belongs to the story.

Keep the message inside

Print single-sided at 100%. Cut the 156 × 108 mm outline, write on the blank reverse and fold at the dashed centre with your writing inside. The planned folded size is 78 × 108 mm; check orientation on paper before adding glue or a holder.
