I made a ton of these for Christmas gifts, many different styles. This was for my 6 year old son's "girlfriend" filled with pictures of them at a recent trip to Disneyland. This was before I knew about Spunky Spots, I just used a pencil eraser! (Now it's in with my tools.)

This is adorable. Would you mind sharing how you made this or point in the direction of a tutorial? I haven't heard of a one-sheet picture book. I can see where these would make great gifts - fast, easy and you can make a lot. Thanks so much for sharing and very well done!

Thanks for your interest! I guess a one sheet picture book is just what I call it... I use one sheet, well, two sheets of two different colors will make two books. If you want pages all one color, one sheet is all you need. Cut into quarters. Score all quarters 1 inch in from one short end-this is your *binding*. Because I want the back to look as good as the front, I make the two first *pages* right-side-up, and the two back pages facing down. (The *valley* of the scoreline is the right side.) I alternate colors, in this case: pink, green, pink, green. I add 1 inch strips of DSP to the open end of all the pages except front and back. All the pages get a little stamping, the back just gets a little *hand-stamped* stamp and a little decorating. On the front, I add the 1 inch strip of DSP to the binding edge. I put it all together with two holes punched with cropadile, the full distance it will go, up from each end. Then thread about three different ribbons thru, tie in knots and trim. The last thing I do is lightly bend the pages back and forth, for ease of use. I hope that make sense! They really are fun, and yes, easy to make lots!
