Amy Peterman created this beautiful Guest Book for today's Fancy This project. Amy and her family recently moved, and with this lovely book, she will be able to keep a record of all who visit them in their new home! Such a fun idea that would also make a wonderful house warming gift for someone. Amy shows us how she made her Guest Book below.
Supplies used:
Storybook (11 x 8.5)
Say It Simple Chipboard Letters
Lotsa Letters Chipboard Letters
Kraft Kuts 1 Die Cuts
Kraft Kuts Red Gold Alpha Stickers
Kraft Kuts Embellish Boy Stickers
All Fall Woven Ribbon
Fashion Sense Pin
Bag-O-Tags
Other supplies:
Glimmer Mist
Tiny Alpha Stickers
Paint Dabber
Instructions:
1. Place chipboard letters (Amy used a mix of Say It Simple and Lotsa Letters) on the front cover of storybook.
2. Using Glimmer Mist, spray over the chipboard letters and storybook cover.
3. Punch out one of the houses from the Krafts Kuts 1 Die-cuts and place it on the back cover of the storybook (Amy placed it printed side down so she could use it on the front cover later). Spray with more Glimmer Mist.
4. Allow Glimmer Mist to dry and remove house die-cut and chipboard letters. Using a paint dabber, paint around edges of storybook.
5. Apply border sticker from Kraft Kuts Embellish Boy Stickers to bottom of front cover.
6. Apply Kraft Kuts Red Gold Stickers.
7. Apply tiny alpha stickers.
8. Cut out label sticker from Kraft Kuts Embellish Boy Stickers and cut it in half. Apply one half to the top edge of front cover.
9. Adhere house die-cut.
10. Tie All Fall Woven Ribbon around front cover and place pin and tag near the knot. Hand write on tag and label.

This is incredibly pretty, and so simple too which is one of the things that makes it even prettier (that it's not a daunting task to try!)!
