HP Create: Photo Pop-Up Book

At our house, a little girl is getting ready to say good bye to her brother as he heads off to college. We created this little photo memory book for her to keep close at hand. These clever little books would be perfect to highlight a special vacation, event or to remember a friend. It folds up to make a cute little book. But when you open the book and tie the ribbon together, this little book turns into a pop up frame to sit on a table.
