So cute! The little brag books are just adorable and so fun and easy to make. Of course, the Big Shot makes this simple and quick. Each page was chipboard and in this case, we simply hoarded some dividers from some packaging materials and then used them today. We used the large scallop circle as the base for each page and then used the large circle to fit inside.
A variety of punches were used to punch out the photos or embellishments. The paper and such was from Sale-a-bration, Ice Cream Parlor and the coordinating colors and die-cuts made it a snap to pull everything together.
In fact these books are so easy, I put a second book together for a girlfriend who sent me some photos of her grand daughter. I hope she'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Just seeing these cute pictures with such cheery decorationsmade me smile.
A couple of tips... you'll want to use Tombo glue on the chip board. Remember, when its dry, it's permanent. You can cut the patterned paper and chipboard at the same time with the Big Shot. That way it's very easy to line up the edges of the scallop.
Journaling (writting notes to accompany the pictures) is a great way to personalize your pages. We used the "Notes" stamp lines and then hand wrote our tidbits. They looked great in Pacific Point blue.
