For Father's Day this year, I made this coupon book for Ken. While Father's Day has come and gone, this is something you could easily do for birthdays, Christmas,
anniversaries, or just 'cause.
To make this coupon book, I started off with a simple frame. I used a free digital frame that I found on 2Peas. If you don't do digi scrapping, you could also make text boxes in Word.
Inside the frame, place a pictures - mine was actually part of the digi frame, and you could choose to do the same, use a photo (of either the recipient or the giver) or some other clipart (say, a clover for a coupon that is good only for the month of March).
Also add wording like "this coupon good for" or "redeem this coupon for" inside the frame. That gets your framework set up.
To make the individual pages, simply type in text specific to that coupon. Print it off, then change the text for the next coupon. Repeat until you have all coupons printed.

I made the cover page really similar to the pages. I simply removed the "redeem this coupon for" wording and replaced it with "Dad's coupon book". Print that off and now you've got all the pages done.
If you've got a Bind-It-All machine, simply use that to bind the pages together. If not, you can use eyelets and ribbon, or brads, or office metal rings (available in office supply stores) to bind the book together.
Voila - your coupon book is done! :)

Very clever! it came out great too.
Mikey, you're the computer guru! I love what you did with the coupon book. Now I can't wait to start using my Bind-it-All! Ken is one lucky guy.
Thanks for sharing. Great idea. Now if you could just get your Dh to make one for you.....
