I love having just the right things...

I was really excited when I was asked to make a little book for a co-worker at my husband's office. I was given a stack of photos and asked to make something for her to remember her time at the office, etc.. So, now this is the third book I've been asked to make. I have had these naked chipboard books for a long time (they were a 1$ spot at target find), and it was perfect for this project! I used a scrap-kit that retired from Stampin' Up! this past catalog. I LOVE the colors, bashful blue, wild wasabi, pumpkin pie, real red...GREAT colors. I have really enjoyed using these kits, they make a project like this take just a few hours. So, while my Ruby was sleeping this afternoon, this is the book I finished.

I used my ATG gun to cover the chipboard covers. After I had put the polka dot paper on the front cover, I opened the cover and laid it on my cutting mat and just used my hobby blade to cut the window out, then sanded the edge with a sanding block. I love the self adhesive flowers and flourishes...so fun! And the strips for borders etc...lovely!! CEE stands for the department that my friend works for at the office. I used thickers (AC) for the CEE, so that they really stood out against the wasabi polka dot paper.

Here is one of the pages-just to show how simple I made the book. I used the same "general" format for each page, only making slight adjustments-and that kept my time to a minimal. Oh, I also used the scallop edge punch on each page...just a little bit of fun there!! I had a great time with this project! I love when things just "come together" and you are happy with the result!

Thanks for stopping by!! Make today a great one!!
