Polariods + Felt = This:

♥

Santa gave Carrie an Instax camera for Christmas. Have you seen these things? The little Polaroid photo that comes out is the size of a credit card. Cute and little. So when Doug and I Santa decided on this gift for Christmas, I got to work on a little book to hold the small photos.
I used felt for the entire project, give or take a doily here, and some buttons and flowers there....

I used page protectors cut down to size and machine stitched them onto the page before I hand stitched the pages together..

Most of my embellishments were cut without patterns {save the large bird below and the big butterflies}. The white scalloped piece was a scrap I found in my felt box that Carrie had cut a while back.

The only Polariod shot I had was the one Carrie took of her dog, Marcus at Christmas - kind of a goofy shot of him, but it's ok. We love him even when he takes goofy pictures..

I was finally able to use some of the little flowers I crocheted last year during my I'm-gonna-teach-myself-to-crochet phase. The centers turned out kind of wonky, but it's nothing that a little felt heart couldn't conceal.

Or a little bird on a button nest...

The same goofy photo of Marcus...moved from page to page for this photo shoot...

Carrie has added a few more photos to her book, but not many. Funny thing about having a camera that requires film - she's reluctant to blow through it so she's hoarding it a bit. {This gives credence to my declaration that digital cameras are one of the coolest inventions ever.}

This was such a fun project ~
I loved making it, and Carrie loved receiving it.
And I hope you enjoyed seeing it.

Happy weekend everyone!
