Hello everyone! Christmas is barely a week away and I am sure that you are scrambling to get everything done. I am always stumped by what to give my two nieces who have everything they need! So this year I decided to make them each a book filled with gift cards to places they shop. This is a project that takes some time – I am estimating I spent about 5 hours per page designing, die cutting and putting them together. Also, you need to think ahead and be sure to have products on hand that will portray each subject. Of course you could make the pages more generic which would take a lot less time. I love the cover – isn’t she fabulous! Enjoy this project and please let me know if you have any questions.
