DIY: Wedding Card Book

I've never been one to throw greeting cards away...I am pretty sure I still have birthday cards from when I was ten. As I have grown up I have been better about throwing them away; but I still hoard a few here and there. I knew I wouldn't be able to throw away the cards from our wedding so I did what I always do and looked on Pinterest for a solution. I found an image on Pinterest that took me to a blog; but the link did not take me to the actual tutorial of the card book; but it wasn't that hard to figure out how it was done. 

I bought chipboard (I think that is what it is called), embellishments, a hole punch, and the book rings. Then I divided the cards by size:

I found the largest card and used that one to determine how big to cut the front and back covers.

Then I decorated the front and used the hole punch to punch holes in the covers.

Then I punched holes in the cards and put it all together. This is definitely a project that I will finish in parts because using that hole punch started to hurt my hands. I only punched holes in about 15 cards before I had to give up.

I think it turned out very well. I am really excited that I found something to do with the wedding cards. There are so many well wishes in the cards that I would not want to toss out. This will be another awesome keepsake from our wedding. 

What about you...what did you do with all the wedding cards from your wedding?
