			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just cleaned up my desk/craft area and found this hidden away in the corner.  I was supposed to be adding some more pictures to it and putting it back together . . . . ages ago.  Now there&#8217;s a 11 month old sibling to add to it!!  But since it&#8217;s a papercraft, and I haven&#8217;t posted about any of those, I thought I should share.</p>
<div id="attachment_255" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2885.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-255" title="ABC cover" src="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2885-300x200.jpg" alt="ABC cover" width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ABC cover</p></div>
<p>I used a hinge bound 7 x 7 scrapbook, it was from <a href="http://www.creativememories.ca/">Creative Memories</a> ages ago so I doubt you can still get one.  There are so many school themed books out there I&#8217;m sure one of those could work.</p>
<div id="attachment_256" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2886.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-256" title="ABC poem" src="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2886-200x300.jpg" alt="ABC poem" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ABC poem</p></div>
<p>I found the little poem online, not sure where but you can download the document here. (as soon as my techie hubby helps me)</p>
<div id="attachment_257" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2887.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-257" title="2 page spread" src="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2887-300x200.jpg" alt="An easy letter to fill up, B.  Here's the 2 page spread." width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">An easy letter to fill up, B.  Here&#39;s the 2 page spread.</p></div>
<p>I made each page a 2 page spread for the letter, except near the end I used 1 page for those less likely to fill up, like W, X, Y, Z.  In hindsight I should have done that for Q as well, other than quilt I&#8217;ve been stuck on that one.  I used a bunch of different coloured alphabet sticker sets, again from Creative Memories, but you could just by I sheet and use it for your entire book.  I just had a lot of alphabet bits and pieces.</p>
<div id="attachment_263" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2888.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-263" title="S page." src="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2888-200x300.jpg" alt="S is for sunglasses, smiles and snowmen!" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">S is for sunglasses, smiles and snowmen!</p></div>
<p>You can use scraps and bits of paper to decorate the pages.  If you have punches it&#8217;s even easier.</p>
<div id="attachment_258" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2891.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-258" title="C is for cookie" src="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2891-300x200.jpg" alt="C is for cookie" width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">C is for cookie</p></div>
<p>This is also a great way to make use of sticker odds and ends you have lying around.  I also find it handy for using up photos I printed but didn&#8217;t scrapbook, I have a bad habit of overprinting.  I also print a lot of wallet sized pictures for this project, since the pages are smaller and I can fit 9 of those photos on a sheet it works out well.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<dl id="attachment_260" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2893.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-260" title="Messy" src="http://www.sewtara.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_2893-200x300.jpg" alt="M is for messy" width="200" height="300" /></a></dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p>I started writing the words next to the pictures as well.  Depending on your child you may want to add words.</p>
<p>Guess I&#8217;d better get updating!</p>
