Hello pals! I’m joyful to be right here on the weblog sharing a undertaking utilizing the Learn Story Play mini package. My daughter is an avid reader and I assumed it will be enjoyable to doc the books she has learn this 12 months. She doesn’t preserve a studying log, however I used to be capable of piece collectively a few of her reads by logging into her library account and downloading her borrowing historical past for the 12 months. I then downloaded the entire guide covers on-line and made collages sorted by month.
I used to be impressed by a folio Pam Baldwin made for a December Each day album a few years in the past and determined I needed to attempt one thing related with the packaging the package got here in.
I lower the highest and backside from the kraft envelope after which lower from the center in order that the pages could be the dimensions of a web page protector, 8.25” x 7.” Like Pam, I lower the 2 items down the center and punched holes into them so I can put them right into a 6” x 8” album.
On the within, I made a decision to make a waterfall factor to carry the collages from the primary 4 months of the 12 months. The flaps are sized to six.5” x 8”, 5.75” x 8”, 5.5” x 8”, and 5.25” x 8.” They’re scored 0.5” vertically on the left to create the folding mechanism.
Sandwiched between the 2 items from the kraft envelope is a web page protector. In right here, I’ve documented the books my daughter learn for the center months of the 12 months (Might by means of August). For these, I created 3” x 4” flip ups, after which hooked up the chipboard tabs to the perimeters to indicate they flip up. I’ve additionally included the journaling card for her to fill out her High 5 books from the 12 months.
On the precise piece of the kraft envelope, I intend to connect one other waterfall factor. As you hear within the video, I didn’t connect it but because the 12 months isn’t over and I have to doc the books from December! I made this waterfall so the flaps flip vertically. These items are sized to six” x 5.5”, 6.25” x 5.5”, 6.5” x 5.5”, and 6.75” x 5.5.”
For the duvet on this waterfall factor, I lower the transparency after which positioned a photograph of my daughter studying. One of many phrase phrase stickers provides a small embellishment.
You’ll be able to see the whole steps I took to make this undertaking within the video beneath. I additionally present the entire interactive parts on the finish.
This was such a enjoyable undertaking and I hope it conjures up you to doc a few of your studying! Yow will discover me at IG: @circleplusarrow
