Christopher's Family Book

Do you remember that mixed paper journal that I made a few weeks ago and gushed and gushed over? I made something out of it!! Yay!! I made a decision... haha (I'm patting myself on the back as we speak, decisions are hard sometimes!)

I decided to make a little book with pictures of our family for Christopher to have. I gathered pictures of each member of our family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins along with a little information about each person, birthday, hair color, eye color, favorite ice cream and color. I designed a little card for each person with their picture and assembled it all together in the book.

Each person got a spread with two facing pages for their picture and information. Everything was glued then accented and detailed with (you knew it had to be coming!) washi tape, tabs cut from some file folders, and stitching with the sewing machine. It turned into a little mini family scrapbook just for my kiddos and I LOVE it!!

I am so pleased with it, I just want to look at it over and over again. Now I'm scared to give it to Christopher because I know he will just tear it to bits!! I think this might be a church book. You know, the book that goes with us to church and is pulled out when were all at our wits end. The book that he can only read when he's sitting right with me, at least until he's a little older and understands the "no ripping books" thing.

How do you think it turned out? I want to make more of these little gems, I won't lie! I think I'm going to make one of our vacation this summer to Prince Edward Island using all the ephemera I collected.
