Tips: Look at the monogram letter first to see what paper they are done in and adjust the base paper. I made the book first without looking at the letters and I would have changed a couple colors of the papers based on the color of the letters. See the d for example. So learn from my mistakes. Also add the extra papers at the end to be sure you have enough. Just do the base papers first to make sure you have enough paper. I added the embellishments at the end using what I had left.
Edit: I timed myself on this one and it took me just over an hour to complete this one just as you see here. I just cut the base paper to cover the board not the letter so no exacto cutting! Super fast that way. I had one full sheet of Cardstock left also! But the patterned paper was used up! and I pieced a couple of the bigger pages so I wouldn't have to cut the extra cardstock paper. So it can be done!
