Brag Book

Spurred on by Saggs' suggestion, I decided to go one up and create a mini album. Following instructions from Martha, I made this cute accordion-fold brag book.

Brag Book 1

Brag Book 2

The photos as the same as the ones here, but I decided to go with black & white versions for a more classic look. Can't believe I actually took the effort to print hard copies of photos, scout for cardstock etc in my sleep deprived state. But I was very inspired by the finished product on Martha's site - just too pretty! It's also quite quick and simple to make - just some measuring, cutting and glueing involved.

I'm very pleased with the result - I really like how it looks, and the only thing I would change next time is to use nicer paper on the inside. This one's for Kisu; I'm going to make another one for myself soon! The booklet is wallet sized, but he might just display it in the office - I think he'd like that he can see baby as he works :)

*edit: this one's mine!
