Come January 2012, I will be a Grandma to a little baby boy! The timing was perfect, we just found out they were having a boy, I've only had Fancy Frames for a short time and Grandparent's Day is just around the corner. It seemed a perfect time to make a brag book for the other new Grandma.
I used 5 different frames, repeating the first one for the back cover also. The front and back were cut @ 5X6.5 and the others were cut @ 4.75X6.25.
On each frame I cut the frame front, the back frame minus the inside cut (hide contour) and a 2nd frame front that I flipped.
The top of each frame was left open to slide pictures into. The outside of the back cover I used hide contour again to the inside cut, so it wasn't a frame. I used my Cinch to punch two holes and put it all together.
I added 3 ribbons to each ring.
I used another frame, cut @ 5X6.5 for a card front and I used my Cricut markers and Lyrical letters to "write" Happy Grandparent's Day".
Stop by 3 Cats and a Bug to see what else I've been up to!
Thanks for looking!
This is a great little book. I've never made one of these - thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteVery nice!!! Love the idea of using the frames for your book!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable brag book. When I was a new Grandma I always had one in my purse ready to show off at a moments notice! I know this will be used a lot! TFS
