One of my favorite online shops is Pick Your Plum. It's a daily deals site that has a lot of craft and baking supplies. They have other items also, but these are may favorites.
I ordered a personalized wooden book cover with The Bugs name on it. I didn't know what I was going to use it for, but I couldn't pass up the great deal.
They've been sitting on my desk for months and I was trying to figure out what to do with it. After his birthday I had his monthly pictures that I had printed as part of the decorations. I thought it would be great to use the book covers as a photo album, but I wasn't sure how to make it work and look nice. I found this blog entry from someone else that had the book covers. She made some cute books for her nieces and nephews. I liked how hers looked and it got my mind thinking of how I could make my pages. I spent one evening working on them and love the way they turned out.
I got a pack of plain paper and a coordinating pack of decorative paper from Michael's. I kept it simple. The plain paper is the background and I cut strips of the decorative paper as borders to the pictures. To hold it all together, I used binder rings.
