My most recent Project!!!

Alright Ladies, I told you I would post the mothers day gift I made for my mom and my mother-in-law. Isn't it so cute. It is also very easy. You can make a brag book , or let it sit on a easil on a coffee table or end table. I just helped the YM make a more scaled down version for their mothers for mothers day. If you want to see that one to I will post it.





I tried scanning the directions so i didnt have to type them out. but it wouldnt work.
I got book Idea From Racheal Allen and the Directions from her. Her and her YM did it also.
So Thank You!!!!! Racheal Allen

Supplies:
3-page album
3- 12x12 Double-sided cardstock
3-4- 12x12 paper
2-12x12 paper for covers
1 yard ribbon
5-page album
5-12x12- Doubleside cardstock
5-6 - 12x12 paper
2- 12x12 paper for covers
1 yard ribbon

Masking tape , Glue stick, Glue gun with Glue Sticks & two pieces of cardboard cut to 61/2 by61/2.
Directions:
  1. Fold cardstock. folding precisely is the key to it folding up correctly. Take your time on this step.
  2. Glue Corners A of cardstock together.( which are the the squares that dont have a line through them.
  3. Glue decorative paper to cardstock. Full sguares measures 5 3/8 x 5 3/8. Triangle pieces are the squares cut on the diagonal in half. Fold up the insides and set aside.
  4. Cover cardboard with cover paper. Tape edges down.
  5. Glue ribbon with hot glue onto the inside of the back cover.
  6. Hot Glue covers to the album. Embellish as desired. Remember that if you are doing embellishments to the covers that need to be tucked in, do those before you glue the inside album to the covers.

I actually don't know how it is done. My friend figured it out and did it for me. Once I understand how she did it I will let you know. We really should try to get together with Max and Kim and who ever else and do dinner and a movie or something.

Brooke and Brett Martin said...
