A few months ago I came across this great Highlights Scrapbook DIY by Elsie at A Beautiful Mess, and I was super excited to give it a try for this occasion! I didn't follow the directions exactly, but I really like how it turned out.
Here's what I came up with:
I cut out the cardboard for a cover first. Then I cut a bunch of scrapbook paper and cardstock for the inner pages. I decorated them, adding photos, text, and embellishments. I wanted it to look like it was overflowing, so I didn't concern myself with 'staying within the lines' of the pages. Once I finished all of the pages I sewed it all together with embroidery thread. I sewed on a button and string for an enclosure and it was done!
I really love how it turned out and can't wait to create a whole stack of these for our life events :)
this is really really cute, how nice to have made the book instead of just filling one, it'll be lovely to look back on
