Motozine and Blessing Book


My cell phone broke last November, and I've been trying to work with semi-functioning second-hand cells ever since. Finally, Jake and I decided that it was time for a change. Luckily, his account was ready for an upgrade, so we used that to get my phone. I don't care too much about fancy things; I don't use my cell for much since Grant came along. As long as I can text Jake and call my Idaho family for free, I'm good! I did have the thought, however, that it would be nice if I could get a phone with a nice camera (well, "nice" being more than the standard 1.3-2.0 megapixels). Fortunately for us, we found one the was perfect! It doesn't have a ton of gadgets, but it takes pretty good pictures. Now when I'm out around town, if Grant does something really funny I can snap a shot.

(As I made a book today, Jake messed around with the phone, so all of these pics are from my phone.) I decided to make my Blessing Book a 6x6 so it fits in my scripture case, but that meant scaling everything down and then cutting each page with hopes that the double-sided printing would be lined up. We were lucky!


Jake suggested I add some artwork and photos in the spare spaces, and it turned out really good!

Here's how it works. So simple!
Here's the cooling rack.

I am so happy with how it turned out!


It fits so much better than my old envelope with all the originals in it.

Anyone want to make a book? Give me a call! (If I don't answer, it's probably because I'm still learning how to use my phone...)

Awesome!! What a great idea! Don't you love when husbands make our ideas even better?? Clayton does that often! It makes me appreciate being a partnership. The pics are amazing being from a cell phone! I didn't know phones could do that. I'm pretty low-tech myself.

What the? What is that? Where do you get one of those? Oh, and what kind of printer do you have for printing off 12x12 scrapbook pages?
