I am always on the lookout for something new to make for craft fairs and when I saw a tutorial for a Birthday book on Pinky's blog I decided to have a go. The inside looks like this with the other 6 months the other side plus a back cover.
I typed the wording and used Memory Box butterflies and some new flower dies I treated myself to after seeing another crafting friend use them. I think you will be seeing a lot of them. They are Hunkydory Moonstone fabulous flowers. Pinky wrapped what looked like elasticated card on hers but I used some Tim Holtz bulldog clips. I didn't include a tick box unlike Pinky as I wanted it to be used every year.
I popped them in cello bags with a pen and took them into Prima Rosa where I sell some items so will see if they sell in there before making any more.
