Me and My Family Quiet Book

I am so happy with how this quiet book turned out for Alexis! I have been wanting to make Alexis a quiet book for church and a family book for quite some time. So, tonight, I went ahead and did it! I made a Family Quiet Book for Lexi that we will be taking to church with us each Sunday. Since we do not live by family at the present time, I want Alexis to be familiar with their faces and names so that when we visit they will not just be "strangers" to her. I also wanted a book to take to church that has "substance" to it so that was the inspiration behind this book.

Here is how I made it:

I purchased a black photo book that holds 4 by 6 pictures from the Dollar Store.

With scrapbook paper, ABC stickers,glue dots, and flower pop-ups that I purchased from Wal-Mart; I decorated the cover.

Then, I made a "Table of Contents" for Alexis by placing her picture and name in stickers along with the above mentioned elements for the inside cover. Next, I typed out an explanation of the book, written from Alexis's point of view, printed it and placed it in the first sleeve below Lexi's picture.

Then, I made a cover using paper, stickers, and flowers for each category. Below, I placed a 4 by 6 picture inside the sleeves to match the category. I also added some cute white stickers on the pictures with specific names.

That was it! It took me 30 minutes to do.

Although this book is not done, due to not having everyone's pictures, it is 80 percent complete and it so sweet looking, if I do say so myself.

I hope it will fulfill the purpose that I created it for, and I hope Lexi loves it as much as I do.

Thank you to all family for sending me your pics.
