It involved several pictures of each child, three colors of cardstock and three different patterned papers (two of which were polka dots because I heart polka dots). There were three different ribbons to tie on to the binder ring, and I used punches for everything else. The tag punch is from Creative Memories and is maybe 2-3 inches high. I had a Susan Branch alphabet stamp set and a brown ink pad for the letters.

Sorry about the poor picture quality. Here's the cover.
A couple peeks at the letter pages. . .
Ahhh. . .takes me to bowling! Love that one.
We pulled out the dictionaries for a few letters because some are just hard, but I think most of the kids did the old XOXOXO for the letter X.
Then we made and decorated an envelope to put them in. They had a few extra punched pieces left for this.
They turned out really cute and I love how they show the personalities of the kids. One girl for U put "unlikes turkey heart." I had to ask her about that one because I didn't get it, and she told me that at Thanksgiving, she and her dad eat turkey heart, but her mom always gets grossed out.
I think I managed to buy everything I needed either on sale at Craft Warehouse or at Walmart - lower prices everyday, printed some pictures real cheap at Costco, and got two sets of pictures donated. So this ended up being around $2.50 a kid. Not bad for the old arts and crafts budget.
