I love to read and my kids love to read too so for my project I wanted to make a little mini album of favorite children's books. To make it more special for Sophie I asked all the design team members what their favorite children's book were when they were growing up and added them in too.
For the covers I used the acrylic cover in 8x8 and cut it in half so I would have 2 8x4 pieces for the front and back.
The binding is the brown 3/4" owires which is one of my favorites and I use it quite often.
Leave a comment on my blog about your favorite children's book and I will pick a winner to receieve one package EACH of baby blue and baby pink 3/4" owire and a selection of Cover-Alls.
Here's a list of all the blogs and more chances to win!
