Here is my very first ever word book!! It is not exactly how I wanted it, but it turned out OK. It wasn't nearly as complicated as I thought it would be. I haven't done one before, because I was a little intimidated, but no need! Once I got flowing, it was so much fun!! I designed it on my Gypsy, using Plantin Schoolbook, Heritage, George, Lyrical Letters and PDDU. A little overkill, but it was my first one..lol. It was a lot of fun to do. I cut the book pages first out of miscellaneous chipboard that I have stored up, and then cut the papers, using the same file. Exactly the same size!! Who knew how easy it would be. Of course, there is always some filing to be done for the rough spots, but I inked the edges with military blue, since it is for my niece, she is having a baby boy. Thus, the word BABY on the first page, and KYZER, (the babies name) on the 2nd page. I didn't really care for the rocking horse after it was done, but live and learn. Thanks for looking!
PS. It is not a great picture. Sorry! I didnt take one of the completed project. I had my niece send one!
