A Gift for Ally

IMAGINE that!

So when I came across the idea again,

I thought, wow, how cute.
I need to share it on the blog.

This cute book is created with a folder 

you can purchase at school time, during

all the school sales.

Here are pictures of the school folder
open with papers in it and closed above.  They
are very cheap in August when the
school sales are on.

It has pockets in the folder for school papers,

but when you fold it in half, 

you get 4 quarter sides to work with

and each side has a pocket.

This little mini book I created for

my grand daughter Ally.

She had just completed an enormous 

series of projects for

her Young Woman Medallion,

and this was my gift to her for completing

all the requirements.

I covered the front of the book with

Glitter Spring stripe CS,

I added her name from letter stickers from 

the dollar store.

I also glued a wide pink ribbon

underneath the Spring Stripe CS

to create a ribbon tie on the edge of the

opening of the book, 

and to just make it look cute.

The top of the cover of the book has a 

sun sticker from the Butterfly Glitter Sticker sheet.

I then added orange tear drops to the sun, 

and a round glitter circle cut from our

Glitter yellow chipboard.

This sticker sheet also has the row of flowers that are down

the edge of the book.

I also added a few butterflies from this 

same sticker sheet.

You can see here as you fold the

pocket folder in half, it creates 4 pages inside

each with its own pocket.

Each quarter of the inside of the book is covered in 

a different paper, and I added

stickers and tags to each pocket.

I also created a pocket on top of 

the pocket for and extra tag.

Robin's Nest Products I used:

Summer Sticker

Glitter Spring Stripe

Girl Stripe

Bunny Stripe
Princess Words
Butterfly Glitter Sticker

Here is the first 2 pages with pockets.

Here are the second 2 pages with pockets.

On this pocket I decided to add

places for Ally to write about things

that are going on in her life right now.

So I cut out a sheet of Glitter Green Journaling tags

for her to write her feelings on.

These tags fit inside the pocket of

the original folder.

It was so easy and so fast.

I added a few pics of Ally, 

and just a few bee's and butterflies from the 

one sticker sheet.

And a finished little mini book for Ally.

Here again is the cover of the book.

You can find these stickers, 

printed cardstock papers, 

tear drops, and journaling tags on our 

website.

Such a good job deserves a cute gift from Grandma.

Love you Ally!
