I made this match book scrapbook for on the front of my grand daughters newborn album. I used this matchbook scrapbook on the front cover and added a magnet to the back of it and a metal embellishment to the album front cover so that is would stay attached.
I used a matchbook (matches removed of course!) as the template and for measurements. I added an interactive photo insert strip that is interactive. It opens up, pulls out and flips open!
I used pattern paper on the outside and solid on the inside with just a tad bit of ribbon as decoration. The photo insert inside is interactive. It opens up, pulls out and flips open!
The inserted piece pulls out to reveal head-shot-size photos! It shows the baby's family. The mother and father head shots current age, but these are on a tab that opens up to show them at a younger age.
And close it up like a "matchbook" and it is darling, beautiful and will be certain to grab attention of many and all! A great grand parent gift, or for school friends or how about one in your own purse to show off the loves of your life!
These aren't very hard to make, just kind of time consuming, but they are certainly worth it. This is my first one and it turned out pretty good, and I didn't have any instructions - just saw a completed one once and figured it out. It is that easy.
This is one was made with a regular size matchbook as the template, but I have done the same thing, only enlarged the template - adding about 2 inches all around. Worked out great!
