Mini-book

Holly has a friend moving out of town and was invited to his birthday party this week.  While thinking of a  gift to get him we wanted to some how give him a little memory of where he spent the first 7 years of his life.  So, camera in hand, we headed out to capture some of our favorite spots around town and we think they're some of his favorite spots as well.  Using the idea behind the book "I went walking what do you see..." (a favorite around our house) every page built on the previous page plus added one.  There were 10 in all.  We hope it's a great little memory book for him (and his family).  They'll be MISSED!


I used Katie Pertiets Photo Clusters (found at Designer Digitals) to frame each photo, printed each page as a 5x7 and  used file folders to mount the photos on and create the accordion style book.

Love it. How nice to give a memory to remind a child about where they once lived. They all cherish the memories!
