Solar System Book

I’ve always said that even if I were to ever quit scrapbooking, I would still save the majority of my tools and such.  It is always so fulfilling to me when I can use my scrapbooking stuff for other more practical reasons (yes, I did just say that scrapbooking isn’t always the most practical thing, important?  absolutely!  Practical?  not always –  most of the time our pages just sit on a shelf, lonely.) 
For the last two months we’ve been learning about the solar system in school.  We’ve done models, puzzles, several hands on things to cement the planets into their little brains.  But I wanted to make a reference book for them that they could keep for future reference.  After looking around online a while for a free printable, I found this and I set to work!  I pulled from my scrap bin and used my awesome Papertrey Ink dies (I love these little things!)  I also used a transparency sheet (from office supply) for a front and back cover to give a little bit of stability to the paper.




Supplies:  Bind It All, 3/4” o-wire, paper (I think reminisce, but honestly, it’s been in my scrap stash for a long time, it was a piece from when I started scrapping 7 years ago), Papertrey Ink dies (rocket, moon & alpha), Cosmo Cricket alpha letters, Bo Bunny bling, insides from here
Note:  If you want to make one for your kids, I trimmed the pages to 7” (wide) x 7.5” (tall) leaving room at the bottom for them to write a bit of additional information about the planet (location in the solar system, how many moons, etc)
