A Spotted Canary Project by Spotted Canary Creations

21 September 2009

 Here’s a great mini memory book you can make to commemorate a special trip. It makes a great tabletop display or a terrific gift.  Swap out the stamps to make this book for any occasion! It’s easy to add more pages to your starbook. Simply cut and decorate additional page sections to add more points to your star.

Instructions

STEP 1:

Embellish the top side of the mat board squares with stamps, papers, photos, etc.
