Baby boy banner and altered books

I found this heavily loved book at a local bookfair, and decided to give it a new life. Lots of the pages were missing, so I took the rest of them out, and relined the inside cover, binded it, and added two sating pagemarker ribbons. I absolutely adore it. It is a weekly reader book... im not sure if everyone had those, but this brings back lots of memories!

I made this banner for a friend who is having a little boy. I used nesties, sansserif alphabet cart, doodle charms, and stretch your imagination along with the swiss dot cuttlebug folder, green ink, and yellow grosgrain.
