Birthday Book

 
 
 

I downloaded the pages for this book from Nichole Headys blog here. I printed them on SU' whisper white and stuck them on to Papertrey 'aqua mist' card. Instead of envelopes for the backs of the pages I used SU 'bashful blue' card and folded and stuck them down at the edges to hold stamps and addressed envelopes etc. These were edged with spotted paper from SU.I then cut strips of green card and punched with Fiskars 'Threading water puch' and sandwiched them between, sticking the front and back of the pages together. The covers were covered with Basic Grey papers and the letters were diecuts also from BG. I Modged Podged the front and back to add protection from handling. I used a 1 inch binding wire in my BIA which was a perfect size for all 12 pages - I was worried my book was going to be too thick!! All credit for this simple to make book must go to Nicole - Thanks Nicole! My Other half was impressed and asked me to make him a garden planner and an address book!! Thanks for taking the time to visit xx
