70th Anniversary Guest Book
The whole album didn’t take very long to make once I decided on the color palette. I dug through piles and piles of paper until I finally decided upon a yellow and teal palette since I found enough coordinating paper to complete the entire book. Yeah again for shopping my stash!
I covered the pages of the book using a variety of patterned papers, inked the edges with distressing ink and embellished the pages with doilies, Color Shine mist, CANDi’s, chipboard accents, butterflies, pearls and seam binding ribbon.
I added pockets on the last page of the book to hold 3 x 5 note cards for the little ones to color pictures on.
On the front cover of the book, I used my Silhouette to weld the word Seventy together and cut the sentiment out of teal glitter paper.
