Years and years ago, Chatterbox .... remember them ???.... use to hold a competition called "making it meangingful". I will never forget the year Vanessa Reynes entered.
It wasn't her design, or choice of product that captured me, it was the theme of her entry.

Vanessa decided to dedicate her book to her little girl, so that if she or her husband ever weren't around, (I mean you seriously don't know what is around the corner) her daughter would have a book to go to, for advice during the main events of her life. Vanessa's book had letters hand written from her and her husband, for her daughter's 18th, 21st, Wedding and 1st Baby. I remember thinking, if I ever have children, I want to create one of these book for them. Well, 10 years later, I finally got to catch up on that promise. And even if Mark and I reach the ripe old age .... just the thought of her reading these letters - by herself, is so precious to me.

I have used Grand Revival fabric to cover an old book cover and covered the inserts with fabric too. To pages are made out of bazill and punched with either Martha Stewart or Fiskars Punches.

The envelopes have been home made either through the cricut machine or me just tearing open an envelope and tracing around it to obtain the shape. The chipboard is from Imaginarium Designs.

I believe that every mum, should make one of these. Especially us crafters, who sole reason for creating is usually our children or grandchildren. That's why I have posted it here, hoping that the more women that see this book, the more children are going to be blessed.

I love SB.com, but unfortunately you can't load multiple photos. I have most of the book on display at www.stephdevlin.typepad.com.

Thanks for looking xo
