I found lots of quotes and vintage-style pictures on the internet, intending originally to print them out to form a simple book. However, using Microsoft Word and an HP printer made it impossible to print pages double sided and get them to line up on each side. So I ended up printing each page individually.
I then decided to go for a ring-bound format and got to work cutting and gluing, interspersing a few differently decorated pages. I had a lot of travel-related stickers left over from the book I made for my sister a few years ago, documenting our travels round Spain and Portugal. I then decided to protect the pages with sticky-back plastic, since they were printed using an ink-jet printer and even I was beginning to smudge them with slightly damp fingers.
I was really pleased with how the whole thing turned out. Even Andy, who only saw it unfinished, said it looked really professional.
I have to comment on this as the lucky recipient of this book. Its fantatsic! I now have no excuse not to add quotes to my blog throughout the year. Thank you sooo much mel xx
