Portable Happiness

I gave my mother-in-law a little brag book for Christmas with pictures of her great grandchildren. I will admit that when it was finished I was tempted to keep it for myself.  I may make another one, because it was quick and simple.  It is made using badge holders from the office supply store and held together with binder rings.


I love this paper collection.  It is from Stampin' Up and is called "Attic Boutique."  I will make a full confession about my paper hoarding in a future post, but I am proud to say that I bought this paper only a few weeks ago and I was surprised at how painless it was to cut into it so quickly and use it in a project. 


I embellished using a coordinating embellishment pack from Stampin' Up and finished up with lots of coordinating ribbon scraps tied to the binder rings.


Look at all of these cute faces!





Each wallet-sized photo is backed with a piece of paper and slid into a badge holder.  Each badge holder also has a tab stapled to it with the grandchild's name written on it.  It is the perfect size to be tucked into a purse.  This would also be a great project for Mother's Day.
