When I was out thrifting recently I came upon a couple of old children's records. It brought me back to my little record player and my favorite story record peter pan! I was so excited to find them in really good condition and in several colors! That inspired me to make this little album..I really wanted to see if I could drill some holes in the record, but I thought it too risky as they might crack. Instead I used a piece of chipboard (my good ol' cereal box!) painted black for the cover. I laid the record over the chipboard and traced the record shape leaving enough at the top to make a binding with my bind-it-all. After I cut the cover out I traced that on all my patterned paper. I cut the paper out 3 sheets at a time, then glued the record onto the cover. I lined up all the paper and the cover to make the album and put it through the bind-it-all. All that was left to do was embellish the pages and covers. It was so much fun using Studio Calico, Echo Park and Cosmo Cricket paper..and of course my stash of vintage buttons, cards and ribbon!
