front page
I bought a little frame made of cardstock and felt with stitching, which I destroyed and used the felt frame on the front page. I could of course have made it myself quite quickly.
The actual frontpage is made from cardstock covered in wallpaper. I use lots of wallpaper in my scrapbooking. It's cheap (as you get 10m per roll), and I love the looks and texture of them.
I did the binding of the book myslelf. There are stores that does it cheap and quick, but not on christmaseve when I needed it done. So I knicked the rings from an old sketchbook and used it. It was very time consuming to make all those holes in all pages, so I wouldn't recomend it. Plan your binding in advance and go to the store instead!
My nederlands isn't that great yet, I've been told now that it is HET eerste jaar.
