Just finally read through everything - this is fabulous! Jess you do such beautiful work. I have to make one for my grandchild to be! I think I will make 'reading' books lsuch as A is for Auntie (pics of the aunts) or something like that... it will be fun!
Thanks for the great ideas!
Thanks Jess.... I ordered my shelf too late -- but will definitely come back to get the instructions later....
Have fun!!
Have fun!!

MY STUFF CAME!! MY STUFF CAME!!!! Now I can start my project. I am a little confused about the books. I odered 3 sets, so I could make 8 books (with 1 extra) but I only got 3 packages, 12 pages in each one. My math stinks. Is that enough for 8 books?

This was what I ALMOST did with mine and I think it will work really well. I am saving the ABC book for another mini album, I think. Can't wait to see yours!

Yup, you have enough to make 9 books from that. Each set comes with three books... each book has 4 pages to it.
Jess this is so darn cute. I know I won't get mine done before Monday, but I do promise to share when it is done. I am using the BG Boxer papers as this project is for my Grandson.

Nevermind, I figures out what I was doing wrong. My first book didnt turn out as well as I was hoping it would look. Maybe after I embellish it it will look better. I'm working on the second one right now. I already have my shelf painted and papered. it looks pretty, not as pretty as yours though!

Oh good! I'm glad you figured it out! I bet if you add a few strips of paper on the inside where it didn't come out right no one will ever know!!

Aww, thanks Grace! I am so excited to get the rest of the supplies so I can finish it. It will be adorable on a shelf in the new nursery.
I finally managed to get the bookshelf done and one album. I have not done any emblishments at this point. Will wait until I get all the pictures. This project is for my grandson's Christmas gift. Since they moved to New Mexico, he misses his cousins. One of his aunts will be taking pictures for me of all his family members on his dads side of the family and I will complete those albums then.
This was a fun project. There are a couple more pictures in the gallery. http://upload.acherryontop.com/i/galler ... 79-490.jpg
