mini book..
hi
a few weeks ago we took the kids to the pool mind you i got burnt and i was in the shade far away from the pool anyway kara had a friend come with us and i took lots of photos of them together swimming and having lots of fun so i thought i would make a mini book of their day at the pool
so here is how made it
i cut i bit of white cardstock in half
folded it in half
opened it back up
cut 2 6 inch strips 1 inch wide and the center strip to decorate the spine of the book
3 x 6 inch
attached the strips by sewing them on my sewing machine
91/2 inch x 51/2 inch i cut the pages for the center of the book and added scraps i had left over and turned them into tags
then i lined them all in the center and ran a machine stitch down the center
flipped the book over
glued down the patterned papers for my spine of the book
folded it closed and decorated the front of the book
added a button with a mini twine bow
put a brad on the edge in the center of the back cover and added twine
now its ready to embellish and add photos
