ReplyDeleteomg! What an adorable little booklet! And yay for your MacBook Pro! My first Mac had 4 (count 'em) MB of memory and my new MacBook Pro has 4 GB! lol Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteA very nice card! A great tutorial! I found my way to your blog by way of Everyday Cricut and I'm happy that I did. I am now a follower.
ReplyDeleteBrian, love this idea. The video was helpful. I really like the belly band going from top to bottom on the one for Everyday Cricut. What were the measurements for that?
ReplyDelete(I noticed on the video you said the base was 12 x 4 and then the blog says 10 x 4. Also the photo/journaling blocks say 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 on the blog and 3 3/4 x 2 3/4 on the video.)
Keep up the good work.

That is such an awesome idea! I can do this for mother's day, but what I really can't wait to try and put one together for is my husband who is currently deployed in Iraq.
