OK, be patient with me!! This will be lots of pics ... My niece is having a baby girl - TODAY - I got up to a message that she is in labor and about ready to deliver. And I just finished her book yesterday! She is the sweetest person in the world and has had such a hard time carrying a pregnancy to full term, so this new little baby girl is sooooo loved already!
For this album, I took a book of nursery rhymes and altered it. I left the cover as it was cuz I liked it. I tore out quite a few pages, then glued some together. I ran a line of glue with my hot glue gun, then folded the two pages together - this helps the book stay together. Then I bunched up about 10 pages and put them together by gluing one of the pages that I had torn out back on the pages -- very hard to explain, really easy to do -- hopefully the pics will explain!
This phrase was cut from the Heritage cart, and of course stickled!!
I love tags and use them wherever possible. I made some of these, and some I received in swaps.
