MFT Monday - Jolinne Birthday Book

I finally got to finish my birthday book that I started last week. I was going to make a book for the template WSC, but only got as far as printing the pages. Then on St. Patty's day when Kim announced the new club challenge to use something recycled, I thought it would be great to use some cardboard I rescued from some packaging to make the covers of my birthday book.

I used some Imaginecense papers that I had to alter the chipboard covers, then trimmed the inner pages to be a little smaller than the covers. I stamped and colored Jolinne with Balloons, then cut her with my nesties. I stamped the balloons again to paste on top so they could go outside the oval. I covered the balloons with crystal effects so they'd be nice and shiny! I cut the letters with my sizzex, and used a heat set jewel to dot the eye.

I stamped some different Pure Innocence girls on each month using different SU! inks along with the months. I decided I'll just start at the top and write the date and names of people with birthdays that month so as new people get added the numbers may not be in order, but that's OK. And of course I added some gift information pages to the end of the book as well! LOVE this template.
