OVER THE RAINBOW TAG BOOK | with Lisa

This week, I was super excited to start working with the new collection called Over the Rainbow. I wasn't sure what I wanted to create but I quickly decided to make a mini album with the tags on the Just for You patterned paper.

This album is not a traditional album with photos, but more of a mini book with 31 pages. I called it "31 Days of Luck", where you can find little lucky and positive quotes for each day in March. I started by cutting apart both sheets of the Just for You paper. Then I arranged the pages the way I wanted them to go into the book. I matted the cover with a piece a piece of patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pad, to make it a bit wider than the other pages and then I distressed the edges of all of the pages.

I took out all of the embellishments from the collection and started to decorate the pages one by one, using some quotes from the Chit Chat pack and looking some up on Pinterest to write them down with a black pen. For each page, I then added a number from 1 to 31, using the Alphabet Soup Puffy stickers.

I also used a Doodle pop and a Shaker Pop, which I think give the book a lot of dimension and bulk. I chose a big blue metal ring to attach all of the pages and then I added a few different ribbons from my stash.

That's it friends. This is a very cool gift for a friend or a family member. You can use positive quotes or also say "thank you". You could use it as a memory keeping booklet and add some journaling spots to the back of each card to write down some memories... Lots of options! Have a great week!
