Yea!! I got another craft done!! Only because my mom gave me all the stuff to do it while i was down at her house... This will probably be the last craft till i get down to my mom's house again. Which means... I need to get back to scrapbooking!! So here it is, a baby board book! My BFF from college had a baby a month ago. I'm late, I know. I actually started a board book forever ago for her, but it did NOT turn out well. It's a lot harder than I would've thought. It was all for the better. This one turned out pretty well. Patience is the hardest part of the project. I messed up a few spots (especially on the front cover) by not letting mod podge dry all the way before moving on to the next step. So if you do a board book, BE PATIENT AND GO SLOW!
I started out with this book from a chick-fil-a kid's meal.
Printed out pictures in black and white, a poem on cardstock, added some Mod Podge , and VOILA!
Oh my, I LOVE THIS. This would be a great gift idea or even something to put in a memory box...I love it!
