Good morning and welcome to my tutorial. I am using the fantastic collection available only at Country Craft Creations called Homer's Diner...It is AMAZING! This 1950's themed paper is going to make you so happy when you use it!

My inspiration was a memory I had of books made to hold 45's, and then the players to play them. I was fortunate to find one in a local antique mall, and used the album as the cover of this book. If you can't find a 45, I will share with you a couple of methods to make one out of cardstock.

Below is the cut list for this project. I hope you like it. If you have questions please let me know. Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you soon with more fun tutorials.
