Our school librarian is retiring in just a few days, so I was asked to make another scrapbook. This time, I decided to start from scratch , so the covers and pages are all bookboard, and I put it together with the Cinch (love that Cinch!!)
I like to use a theme for these albums, and what is better than books for a librarian. I even found real library cards (thanks Tiffany) that worked perfectly throughout the album. The book is filled with little memories that the people at work want to share.
I decided for my thoughts, I would write them on the library card in the "top ten" style. I was trying to think of fun things to do in retirement to share.
I have to share once again how you can make your mistakes work for you. I bound the book, and opened it up to make sure everything was good...and what did I discover but that I had done half the pages upside down. Well, I knew I could not take them all apart and redo them, so had to come up with another plan! I remembered some of those children books that you can start at the front, or start at the back, so I turned this into a "flip" book like that. My "Oh No!" moment turned out ok.
You've become the "go to" gal for scrapbooks and I can certainly see why. I love your use of the actual library cards in your book. It will definitely become a keepsake for her. Great job!
