Im assuming you meant the holes where the rings are? They came like that. The chipboard book is made by Little Yellow Bicycle. The reason I chose that album is because its long – 11.75 inches. I knew I had two things to arrange on each page (the wish, and the photo), both about 4 by 6 inches so I wanted to be able to arrange them vertically, or horizontally. I precut all the pieces of white that the wishes were written on to be 5.75 by 3.75 asking each person to write a wish, and then change the orientation and duplicate the wish so that i could choose how I wanted it to look in the book, and then if i messed up on one while distressing or something i wouldnt be completely screwed – I sent each person about four of those pieces in self addressed stamped envelopes.

If you wanted to create your own album, I would recommend the Big Bite, we carry them in the store and it can punch through literally almost everything – all those eyelets you see randomly around the page can be set and punched with the big bite too.

I started in October. And by that I mean I chose the 25 people, contacted them and sent out the pieces of paper. I figured that even though I was sending self stamped return envelopes along it would still take people two months to send them back. I was right. Infact I didnt get back some wishes until last week! Anyway, I spent about 5 to 15 minutes on each page – it was really quick because the majority of the page was taken up by the photo and by the wish so all I had to do is add a little something to make it look nice and poof, all done.

Very cleaver and creative idea!
