More Shape Books

I have been inspired!! Here are my latest two creations using the technique taught by the Bug Junkie, "Lisa".

I made this one for nephew L -

This book was inspired by this entry at Bug Junkie. I just tweaked it a bit to use some more of the cartridges that I do have. Can you tell that I just love these books??

With Lisa's permission, the .cut file is here.

And I made this one for niece M -

This one was inspired by this entry at Bug Junkie. I tweaked this one too, by adding my niece's name. This is not a great shot of this book, but Lisa had a better one on her blog.

I made this one for nephew J -

This one is based on the idea from the Bug Junkie above, but I created my own file for a boy.

You can get the .cut file is here.

I would show you the one I made for nephew C, but it is exactly like the one for nephew L... it's just blue instead of green.

So... what do you think?

I used lots of stickles, paint, beads and flower soft to embellish them. I even embossed many of the accents. I hope to be able to give these to the kids by next week.

Leave me some love if you like them.

Shape Book!!

I could hardly wait to show this one off! I've been working on it for over a week now - and even I love the way this turned out!


I was watching and learning from a pro on these shape books... Let me introduce you to Lisa over at The Bug Junkie.

Lisa is one of the most talented people I've seen around! Her work is incredible! But she shares too - and she created a series of instruction videos to help create a shape book. So without further ado - here is what I was able to create by following along with Lisa...

I loved these so much that I made two of them for my nephews. Even my kids were impressed and may have been quoted as saying, "You made this??"

These little books can be used as photo albums or just for decoration. I will be sending them to the boys this week with a little pack of Halloween stickers and I hope that they like them too!
