his colours...

My youngest at 2 and a half is having trouble remembering his colours. I decided to make him a mini album using some COREDINATIONS cardstock, an old chipboard book I had lying around , embossing folders, and some Scrapware chipboard.
I kept it simple so as not to distract from the  concept of colour....of course my oldest wanted to read it as well!
 Do you spy that yummy Lil red rocket traffic button on the cover!




Till next time...

    This is sooo cute Kim and I love the picture you have of the boys enjoying the book. Love the combination of the embossing on the simple colours with your coloured chippy. Just all so yummy.

    You clever lady. This is fabulous. What a great idea and I'm sure the boys loved it, and the big girls like me too.
    And that pic of them both reading is a treasure. You just might need to put it on a page....hehe.

    What a fabulous idea Kim. I bet he enjoys having his own special colour book as much as you obviously did making it. Great idea & super cute too. Cheers Di xx
