Liz and I got together on Saturday and made these books from Ali Edwards blog.
Thank goodness Liz is better than following directions than I am or my book would still not be finished!
The book started by making the covers: mat board, book cloth, scrapbook paper and two snap binder rings.
I’m a sucker for envelope books. It seems like all the books I’ve been making have at least a few envelopes in them. This one is all envelopes.
On Sunday, I decided to finish the book. It’s to be a remembrance book, of people who have passed away. I’ll put a photo on the right page and tuck things into the envelope on the left.
One of my favorite books about death is “The Fall of Freddie the Leaf” by Leo Buscagalia. I’ll include lines from it on the title page.
Here’s a sample layout.
I’ll do some journaling on the left page and put memorabilia in the envelope. The rubber stamped girl is one of Alan’s stamps and one of his best sellers.
