I cheated on this one a little bit and didn't make it out of felt. I don't normally work with felt because I don't really like felt. I can't believe how many of these project sheets want you to make all of this stuff with felt. So, I am revolting. I am rising up against the felt lovers of the world and refusing to join them. I like fabric. So, I made my album cover out of a heavy weight home decor fabric. I think it is much cuter than felt and will keeps it adorable appearance longer. Felt tends to show it's age and with a brag book like this one that will be taken in and out of my purse, I don't want it to show it's wear and tear.
Now I will step down from my soap box and move on. This is such a great project. So quick and there are so many possibilities to make this unique. I just bought a small brag book photo album from the dollar store and used up some fabric scraps I had laying around and now it looks like a million bucks. Ok, maybe not a million bucks, but definitely worth more than a dollar now.
