August Release Blog Hop with My Creative Time

Hello and welcome to the August Release blog hop with My Creative Time!  If this is your first stop, hop on back to the My Creative Time blog to get started and join us for this fab release with some awesome prizes up for grabs. 

Today I have a mini album/notebook to share with you.  It would be great to put pictures in of kids as they go back to school or for your kids to use to put pictures or information from friends in. 

I used the new What a View die on my project along with the 3 Fancy Tri-fold Card in the Card Sentiments set as the base of my project.  Here is a closer look at the front......

I used the All Around Everything stamps to stamp the "Back to school!" in the middle of the What a View die.....they fit perfectly!!  I tied the album closed with some bakers twine from The Twinery and also used some as embellishment along the spine.  Here is a view of the inside of the album.....

The pages are 2 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches long and folded in half.  I stitched them into the album and then stapled a green die cut from the Stitched Tab Die at the top of the first page.  I just LOVE the way this turned out.

Here is the What a View die that I used on my project today:
