Give Thanks Mini Album

You know me and you know I love making mini albums especially when I can make them a bit unexpected! 
This little book is filled with surprises!
Supplies you will need to complete the kit
Scissors,
Adhesive,
Foam tape or pop dots
chalk pad or any distressing ink for the edges of the pieces
pencil
large hole punch
KIT for the project from Girlfriends
 
The cover is easy...Take the corresponding paper, trace the shape from the book in the kit, cut out, ink edges and glue to the cover of the book.  Next add the strip of corrugated paper (ink edges of course), put together the turkey (add a little dimension by putting some foam tape or a pop dot under the top of the leg), add the title.
