DUDES! I had promised a new living room post this week. But FAIL, I didn't get it together. Look for that MONDAY. What I do have though is a video. It's sort of an introduction to the summer mini books and then talks about how I made the first four pages of my book. Like I make them in real time on the video. It's of course long because things like time seem to get away from me when I record, but it might be helpful to see my "process." If you want to skip the intro where I give suggestions for getting started and just see me working on my own book, start the video at the 4m50s mark. I am hoping to share more videos like this throughout the summer as I work on this project. I hope you enjoy.

Whether you watched the video or not, you might still want to see photos of my completed pages :
If my crazy arm waving got you excited about buying a summer book – RAD. Pick one up here.
And I use a few tools during the video. Here are links to those :
- Crop-A-Dile
(pink hole puncher)
- Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite Punch
- StazOn ink pads
- roller adhesive
- sewing machine
(I use this machine for everything and love it)
- sadly, I don't have a link (or brand) for those letter stamps – they were from Michael's a year or so ago.
