Sabrina...I sent through a link to another Star Book which is a little different to mine but also nice. If you want to make one same as mine I will see if I can write some instructions that as easy to follow.

Regards, Marilyn

Thank you M-C....I am glad that you like it. I hoped that the instructions with pictures may be of additional help to some of our friends who like visual clues, along with the written instructions. Regards, Marilyn

You are welcome and I look forward to seeing your finished project. I hope you will share :o) Just holler if you are stuck! Regards, Marilyn

Lorilee......Glad you like my Star Book but just remember that mine is a little different to Sandy's instruction and the one on the link I sent through. I didn't try Sandy's but I am sure there will be similarity between it and the one on the link I gave. Mine's has cut-outs so the stand out like in some birthday cards. It gives it additional dimension. If you want to use it like and album for pictures and journaling....use the one on the link. If you are thinking decorative...try doing the cut-outs. It is really pretty!!!

Regards, Marilyn

M-C....here is a different take again on the Star Book but it looks as if there are photos added to make it more like and photo album. This would make a great small gift album for a special occasion i.e. a baby's birth, christening, wedding anniversary and the possibilities are endless. Just make sure you use acid-free card and paper if they are a keepsake item :o)

and here is a downloadable pdf file of another example. These are all a little different but very pretty in there own right. I thought that people may prefer one type to the other...depending on what they would use it for. Marilyn

That came out great Marilyn! I won't even attempt something like that! It looks complicated. :)

Judy, SA

If good girls always finish first, then I must be a very bad girl because I'm always finishing last. LOL Now stop with this finishing-early nonsense, Marilyn. You're making the rest of us look bad! LOL

It's beautiful! Toss in some pictures and I think it would be a great gift.

Melissa

Wow Marilyn! You've found all kinds of great star book instructions. You go girl! :-) But thanks for finding all those. I think I'm going to go with the paper bag album this month, but definately save the instructions for a star album for some time in the future. Thanks for finding all the links!

My jaw just dropped at how beautiful and intricate this is. Truly a work of art. Nice job Marilyn.

Lynne

Thank you Judy and it was not complicated. I loved doing it :o)

Thanks Melissa....I thought about adding pictures but there really is not much room using the cut-out method. They would need to be passport size to fit the available space. I am doing a bigger one for a friend and plan to use photos on that. I think the best one for photos really would be the link I sent through from splitcoaststampers.com The pages on that are flat...it is the way you stick each layer that creates the star effect.

Marilyn

Thanks Hilda...glad you like it :o) Marilyn

Glad I could help with alternative resources, as everyone has different ways of working and there is sure to one that will fit the bill. I am looking forward to seeing folks paper bag albums...so hurry up please....I am impatient...LOL

Marilyn

I resemble that remark. LOL I look at it this way....I just let the thoughts and ideas stew in my mind until I'm ready to take them out. My mind works like a crockpot (slow cooker) instead of a microwave.
