Don't you just love it when an idea just comes together? I know for some the creative process is a mystery but if you think of it like cooking, it's not that hard. For this 6X6 gift card book the inspiration came from several ideas that finally gelled into the final product. I'm a bullet point person so here is how this mini book came to be.1) CJ summer get together - Rocio had a gift card waiting at every store on our itinerary. (cool idea) 2) I did a make-n-take at the local scrapbook store and the project was a gift card holder (took the pattern and enlarged it)
3) Brainstormed with a friend on what to get her very hard to buy for husband. A coupon book idea came up. (giving more than one gift card). So I thought it would be fun to make the gift card project fit into a 6X6 mini album with each page holding a gift card. The theme for the album can be anything and would make a great group gift too. The Christmas one in the picture is for my daughter who is very hard to buy for. Every page has something from some of her favorite stores. I liked how everything turned out so much, I'm going to do a class with a baby shower theme in February, then maybe a Happy Birthday theme. The second photo doesn't show the card holders very well but you get the idea.

This is an awesome idea! Great work & it may be something I can still accomplish before Thursday! I have plenty of stash to complete one - no doubt!
One more (or 2) questions?
1.How did you adhere each signature (section) to the binding/cover?
2. Are you having too much fun with your Cricut????
Great book! Are all the cut outs made with the Cricut? I have a small collection of cartridges (Rocio is the queen of cartridges!). I have Tags-Bags-Boxes&More, Doodlecharms, Opposites Attract, Jasmine, Printing 101, George&Basic Shapes, Zooballo and Home Accents. I haven't even tried them all yet but my fav is Jasmine.
