Pause Dream Enjoy: Friendship Board Book

Merry Christmas Eve!

Today and tomorrow I will be showing you some Friendship Board Books I made for 2 of my very best friends in the whole wide world. :) Today I'm showing you the book I made for Mary, and tomorrow I'm showing you the book I made for Sheree.

I hope you enjoy these books. They were lots of fun to make.

Products purchased from various shops and stores; all are linked at the end of this post.

First I started with a 6" x 6" children's board book I purchased from The Dollar General for $1.00 each.

It's so cute, I sort of felt bad about covering up all the pretty pictures. Oh well. I didn't feel so bad as to not actually do it though. LOL

Here you go. The front, back, spine, and all the inside pages are covered with ivory cardstock.

Before I started decorating, I inked everything with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

Project #520

Board Book measures about 6" x 6". It's not exactly square, but close enough.
