Mini Flower Book Project

Oh my gosh, this was so fun to finally get one made...This is one of the projects, that has been on my to do list for a while now...I saw something similar, can't remember where now, but I knew my Sizzix flower die would work to make one...I cut the flowers from chipboard, covered with pattern paper...I punched the holes with my Crop a Dile and used a clear snap ring as a binder...
After I covered each chipboard page with pattern paper, I sanded the edges, then sponged on a bit of brown ink...I cut the scalloped flower centers using my small round scalloped spellbinder die...and sponged brown ink around the edges..

I used my 1.50 and 1.25 inch circle punches to punch out the faces of the family members I was using in this book...





Here are the basic parts I used...The chipboard flower shapes, pattern paper used to cover the chipboard, and the scallops and round shapes for the centers...
