Even though the holidays have been buzzing by, I decided that for Christmas this year I would make for all 4 sets of Camia's grandparents a brag book. Sorry the top picture is on an angle, I tried to change it, but it seems like it did not work. For my birthday from my family, I received a cricut machine and it has been fabulous to do lettering on all sorts of things. Since the cartriges are so expensive, I only use the one that was provided with the machine and share with my brother's girlfriend when we go scrapping together since she has the same machine and has received the cartriges as gifts from her family.
I had to think about how I would put the holes in the pages so I could insert the rings as I used chipboard to mount my pages on. With the help of my brother's girlfriend and her punch, I managed to get perfect holes in a few pages. When I left her house, however, I forgot to take the tool home to borrow, so I had to figure out my own way of doing it. My 1/4 inch hole punch was too big, and my teeny tiny one was too small. So, I used my punch that needs to be hammered. Perfect fit! It got a bit noisy, but it worked.
I love working with Camia's pictures because she (in my unbiased eyes:)) is very photogenic. Makes for beautiful photos!
I love this photo of her. I placed her in a rocking chair, and she just hung out for a little while.
One of my favourite features is that I can change the photos as she gets older by using photo corners to install the photos on my pages, although I have been specifically ordered by my mother-in-law that I am not allowed to take away from the book, I may only add to it. Since chipboard is not that cheap, I think that perhaps I will reserve updating for occasions such as birthdays and such.
