{November main kit} - "Us"

Supplies needed:

Sand paper

Xacto knife

Basic tool kit

Ok..lets get started….{ at the end of the project…you will have a TON of extras…that was my main goal for this kit club…to be able to do a project and then have leftovers for other things like layouts, cards….anther mini book. and so-on…}

**now remember when you are placing the photos in the book that it opens from the top..so the backside of the page the photos will look upside down…make sense..but not really because when you flip the book open the pictures are right side up…I know confusing.. ** 

{Prep Work}

Take your album and cover it front and back with the pattern paper. Now you are going to become best friends with your xacto knife. Once all the pages are covered and trimmed go ahead and either ink or sand your edges. All photos are trimmed to a 3” circle..i used my creative memories circle cutter….:)
