My husband made this birthday book. He used Bazzill textured paper to make the pocket pages (covered with patterned paper) and the spine, and covered matboard for the front and back cover.
The tags inside are stamped and embossed with months of the year and have blank lines for filling in birthdays, and are also embellished with colorful flower brads and ribbon.
Here are some directions my husband made in Word. He made the book based on something similar we saw in a store.
