I've been working on this new hybrid ABC Book for a couple of days now. It's a little present for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day...shhhhh! Don't tell! She even gave me a little time to work on it while she hauled my kids to the aquarium for a little "grammy" time yesterday. I had to share because I made this little book from MeadowLark™ and my new ABC Templates that will be out tomorrow at DHD. The mini illustrations are so sweet! Think Mother's Day (or in my case, Grandma's Day). The bonus? It's pretty easy to make.
The templates all fit on a 4 in x 4 in photo (I get 4"x6" photos printed at Costco and leave the extra space blank). All I did was take my "ABC photos" and dropped the templates on top (the digital kit comes with both white and black versions-52 files in all).
Once they are printed, you only have the fun part left! This little book is 5 in. x 5 in. You could make your book any size though. When I make my photos 4" x 6", I tend to make a 5 in" x 7 in" book. I was loving the black and white papers because it made the photos really pop. I added red ink to all the paper edges as an accent and some fun MME rub on letters to the cover (the other elements on the cover come from the MeadowLark™ die cut accessory sheets). Oh ya, and my favorite way to get things bound? A quick trip to OfficeMax to let them spiral bind it for me. I'm okay with the hand off on this part of it!
