Oh Brother . . .


Loved making this little book showcasing a few favorite photos of my boys. Are they the cutest brothers or what?! They're older now, but still have the greatest, funniest, most interesting relationship.

You can see this book on display at Express Yourself and get everything you need to make something similar.










The papers and stickers are Carolee's Creations Adornit Boys Are Fun collection. The scalloped chipboard album is from Maya Road.

Someone asked me if it was a pain wallpapering the scalloped edges as I did. Not really! After tracing and cutting out the scalloped edges roughly, I adhered the page to the book with Zip Dry. I then was able to get closer to the scalloped edge with an exacto knife. The trick for this part? I held the page on an angle to get one side of edge scallop first, then held the page at a different angle to get the other side of the scallop. It went very quickly! A quick sanding job of the edges finishes it off!


Thanks for looking! Have a creative week!
