Morningand hope you are all well? Thank you for all your comments about Johns eye he is doing okay and has a check up on the 14th.Bought him an eye patch as it was affecting his balance-only had white so he painted it black-as it looked more interesting lol.Sadly we have also lost his Brother who passed away on Tuesday.
I found this blog post at Nigezza Creates and inspired me to have a go(sorry about all the pics-no I'm not lol)I really enjoyed making this one!
I needed double side papers so found some I have had for years! Everything used was from oddments box or paper drawer and no new stuff used all the paper elements were cut out of other papers-the Bee/Rose/price labels/number strip-the signature was made using paper/book pages/doily and the little hare stamp was a craft mag freebie years ago.-I stamped on the papers and tags with loads of little craft mag freebie stamps,will definitely have another go at one of these.Made a slimline notebook to go in first pocket.

Beautiful Carol, love the papers they look amazing and the old money, remember it well, its fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your hubby is getting better.xx
Beautiful work as always!!!
ReplyDeleteCarol as always you deliver, this is amazing, is this similar to one you did not long ago by the same tutorial writer? Love the design xx
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologise for all of the pics - I think we actually need a few more for this project, (It is one of those projects I wish I could pick it up and twist it this way and that so I could see how it was made.) It looks totally amazing and just goes to show how much patience you have and I love that you used up some of your stash to make it. A real win-win.

ReplyDeleteIʻm so sorry I havenʻt been around. Life has been rather crazy and blogger such a bear. But, I do have to say, your blog is one of the few I can comment on without any trouble at all. I LOVE this beautiful book/journal/folder. The fact that you created it front leftovers makes it even more wonderful in my eyes.
