Paper: Baja Breeze, Whisper White, and Urban DSP
Accessories: Big Shot, Circle Scallop Die for the Big Shot,Clear Envelopes, Pewter Jumbo Eyelets, Crop-A-Dile, Sticky Strip, and Sponge Daubers.

To make the Photo Book-cut card stock to 7 1/4 inches x 5 inches. Score one side one inch from the edge of the card stock (this will form the "spine" of the book). Use this piece of card stock for the front of your photo book.

Inside View of Photo Book:

Apply sticky strip to the back of ONE clear envelope. The opening of the envelope is the "front". Attach the envelope with the sticky strip to the back of your photo book. Peel the protective plastic off the envelope, then attach the next envelope. Continue until you have as many envelopes as you would like as your photo pages.

Assemble the book, and use the jumbo eyelets to "bind" your photo book.

Cut Designer paper to 4 3/4 inches x 6 inches and attach to the front of your book. Use the Big Shot and Scallop Circle Die to create scallop circle. Use the sponge daubers to apply the Baja Breeze ink to stamp, then the Kiwi Kiss to the leaves and stems, then Basic Gray to the tops of the flower. Lightly "huff" on the stamp to re-moisten the ink, then stamp the image on your scallop circle. Apply Kiwi Kiss in to the grass stamp, then stamp on top of the flower image.
