This cute little album template is by Kelleigh Ratzlaff and I used Sugarplum Paperie's Strawberry au Lait kit to scrap my pages.

I decided that I wanted to bind the book, but I still wanted all the layers visible. I did this buy cutting out transparencies into 5x6 sheets and scoring the left side at 1 inch. I then made all the front pages to my book, cut them out and glued them on to the transparencies. Then I repeated with the back sides. I punched 2 holes on the side and added eyelets, ribbon and a heart jewel to the front. And POOF, just that easy!
