I used cereal boxes for the covers. I cut them on my Cricut using a deep cutting blade set at 6, low speed, max pressure and multi cut @ 2. The covers measure 6 3/4" square and the actual pages are 6 1/2 x 6 1/2". I just glued two pieces of patterned paper together to form the pages. The pictures are 4 x 6.
Front cover. I used Elegant Edges Cricut cart - butrfly1 @ 6 3/4" using the book feature. Sasha was cut using Cricut Craft Room Basics. The letters are 1" and I welded them together.
When you cut the patterned paper for the inside cover make sure to flip the image :-)
Troop 5739 was cut using Cricut Craft Room Basics. The letters are 1" and I welded them together.
For journaling spots I just cut white 6 x 6 papers and put a stamp in the top left corner. Stamps are Jillibean soup seal stamps. (says 'Love this')
I've used the butterfly on this page (it's the cut out from the front cover :-)
stamp says 'Happy Moments'
stamp says 'laugh loudly'
Back cover. The books were bound with a Cinch and .75 wires. I added ribbons to 3 of the rings. Paper for this book is The Paper Studio - Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
I left space for them to journal and add any add'l photos they want to.
Thanks for stopping by today :-)
