Babyshower Best Wishes and Guestbook

I am having a baby shower in 6 days. Last night I stayed up working on a babyshower guest book (took me a total of 6 hours to do!!) The size 5.5"x5.5"

I wanted to make something of my own, something I knew was different from retail guestbooks, but also something that I knew I would personally like in it. So I thought of a layout plan on paper, and recreated it. The items used to make this was:

scrapbooking paper
a picture of my hands on my belly that was printed out on regular printer paper in black and white
black core board
Bristol board paper
adhesive
binding thread and needle
metal ruler
exacto knife for cutting
a bone folder
fine tip drawing marker
sandpaper

Final pages are the "Gifts" area where we can record gifts and who they were from. This is easy to refer back to when sending thank you cards, and kept more formally than just with a piece of notebook paper. There are 3 pages for this.

Zine

Final Project for Design and Illustration-a "How To" zine. Mine was "How to Get Out of a Bad Date, Tips for Men and Women." The zine had saddle stitch binding, and was colored with permanent marker and scrapbooking ink. The aged look was used by my distressing kit to give it texture. The image used was from googleimages.com. The ideas inside on how to get out of a bad date were from people around campus that I asked to come up with crazy ideas on what they might do to get out of a bad date. Combining my favorites that were recorded, I put together a short zine for men and women to use.
