Birthday Gift - Notebooks

Notebooks

I have a family birthday party to go to this month for 1yr old & 3yr old boys. The parents have asked for money to get a playground but I still wanted to give something for the boys to open. So I made these notebooks. They can be used for many different things. Some options are: A journal the mom can write in, a notebook the boys can draw or work on ABC's in, it could even be used as a scrapbook for pictures and memorabilia. The ideas are endless.

Supplies

4"x6" index cards (lined on one side if they want to write on them)

1" metal book rings

Baby Announcement

Baby Announcement Tag

No I am not pregnant.

I have a friend who is pregnant and having a photo shoot. So she asked me to make this tag. She will tie it around her tummy with a black ribbon. She doesn't know what she will be having so she wanted to keep it black and white.

Supplies and Instructions

Cricut Cartridges Used:

Cricut Craft Room Basics

Tag - Button #40 - cut 3 times

White(back) - w-4.21 x h-6.76

Black(center) - w-4.21 x h-6.76

White(front with letters cut out) - w-3.66 x h-6

Since there were alot of letters, I created this on my gypsy and used the background. Instead of glueing each letter, I just glued the centers of the letters. I also hid the circle in each tag, then punched one at the end.
