Hoping this works

Notebooks with Anna Griffin Embelishments

Ok so this took me 20 mins to make.

All I did was stick a precut sheet to the front

and added one of the pre-made toppers.

But I think they will make great gifts.

Lean Mean Part 2 the big one..

I looked at Jimjams design and made this from an A3 Sheet of card in the same way.

Book Measure nearly 6" by 6".

But I cursed several times and had to go back to look at her pattern to see how to fold it.

To upsize it to any size paper you just need to score the cardstock in half.

Then score 1 1/2" at the bottom of the length and divide the rest by 3

 A3 scoring Guide.

11 7/10" x 16 1/2"

Score at  1 1/2" , 6 1/2", 11 1/2"

Score at  5 17/20"

(your really just scoring on the A4 Half-fold line)

I did cheat and added covers from A4 cardstock folded in half and scored at same wide as my pages.

These were tucked into the middle fold as you can see in the photo below.

I used a pack of freebie 6 by 6 papers that I got off a magazine last year.

I added ribbon in the same way as the instruction sheet said to hold it together.

Here's the back of my book.

I added stickers of the puffy kind

that I found in "the works".

Got loads left to make some cards

or tags to match.

Have added the link again to the great tutorial.

My Guy Christmas Album

This is my Christmas "My Guy" Album

I saw the design from Laura at The Paper Trail.

Her work is amazing.

All the pages open up and have lots of space to add pictures, DD2 made me add a few of her Foam Stickers from the 99p Store.

Each page back gets a pocket at the bottom that looks like the trousers with a belt.

Added is a tag with a folded top to make a shirt.

The stud was DD2's idea again.

I thought the pink snow flakes looked like a pair of PJ's but someone else said looks like a lady.

I just love this sweater one, with it's ribbon tie, the base card is a lovely green but you can't see it here.

Yes I used red velvet cardstock,

never again do you know do much it shows any glue you smudge.

Last one.

This is the back page, I Cinched it...

and added some ribbons to my binding.

All the pages are made by the same method as my other books, you just add the jacket sides in to make it like a gatefold.
