McKenzie, my baby sister (9 years younger) is getting married. I couldn’t be more excited for her. I wanted to create something for her that would be helpful as she plans her wedding and her life together with Amos. This was what I came up with…a little book for her to collect and record all sorts of bridal inspiration that comes her way. I gave it to her for Christmas.
The heart is cut out of felt and then I stitched on top of it. And the book is bound with a ribbon.
The Love Notes page is a library pocket, so she could tuck some small love notes in here if she wanted.
I made some pages for my book out of cut-up baseball card page protectors, then I just tucked photos inside. I learned this technique from Ali.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ways Amos makes her laugh.
I cut up some old Anthropologie magazines for some of the book’s pages.
Who doesn’t enjoy a little secret note tucked away for safe keeping?
The Images that Inspire Me page is a pocket, so she can tuck images inside.
