Cool book tutorial and our first giveaway!

Today I made a really boyish shaped board book for my son and boy was it easy! Let me show you how:

I downloaded this really cool quickpage album from Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs. The album comes pre prepared, all you need to do is add your pictures and print. I then adhered it to chipboard...
here, have a look at this quick tutorial:

After adding my own journaling and pictures (you don't need to add journaling, thats optional) I printed it out on HP advanced photo paper (glossy)


Then you cut...
Glue cut pieces to chipboard...I used a tape runner and some permanent glue...


Cut again with your scissors....

(Don't forget to glue the backs to the pieces after you cut them out...)

Use a sand block to smooth down messy edges...

Punch holes on the hole marks (i used my crop-a-dile big bite)... and embellish as you like :)

I would have preffered to use binding rings but i didnt have any ... so I used a pipe cleaner and embellished it with a pretty ribbon..

Here are the pages inside:






That stamp is his real foots stamp at birth..
