Believe Book Part 2

Here are the rest of my pictures, continued on from yesterday.
This spread is one of my favorites in the book--I glued gold beads down for the "l" and punched out some flowers. I turned the larger ones into mosaics using double sided tape and some embossing powder:
This page is pretty straight forward--the hearts are cut out from a vintage text-book and then inked using some distress ink:

The dragonfly and the butterfly are made out of fun-foam, that I heated and stamped into and then painted.

The fairies on this page are transparencies, although it's difficult to tell from this picture.

This is the back page of the book and I made this mosaic using a square punch. I used embellishments from throughout the book as a way to tie it all together.

Believe Book

I just finished up this book by BoBunny as part of my design team work for Wishful thinking. Originally I was going to do another fairy book, because it seemed to fit. But when I started working I just couldn't make it happen. So I started thinking about what would work and thought about making a book of my own personal beliefs. I'm going to post the first four photographs and the rest tomorrow.

Here is the front of the book:

Here is a shot of the book open:
Oops--I accidentally loaded the second page before the first! Well, here it is, with a photo of my grandparents. The letters are cloth.

Here is the first page of the book. I used a punch to create the leaves and then used buttons to make the flowers.
Tomorrow, I'll be back with more!

getting back to normal

I am, oh so slowly, recuperating from my injury. I am back to working but it's slow going doing things with an injured hand. Not that I'm complaining, I am very thankful that my hand is healing and the doctor told me this week that I won't be needing a skin graft after all. Good news, indeed.
Tomorrow I will be teaching at my first convention--Scraps Across America. I am excited and a little anxious-- I want everything to go really well. Here are the two pages I created for the class. I'm sorry the resolution isn't great, but my scanner isn't big enough to do 12x12, so I had to make do with the camera.

I am going to try to get back into the swing of posting again...hopefully my life will return to normal soon :)

A little book

Let me just say, up front, that I totally stole this idea for this book from Audrey Hernandez. She had the cutest all clear book up on her blog about a month ago and I had to try it. I wanted to make a little photo album for my friend Kasia, so it was the perfect opportunity to try my hand at it. I used a thin Plexiglases for the covers and clear transparencies (the kind made for writing on, not printing on) for the pages. I then attached the paper to the transparencies.

Here is a shot of the inside.


And here is the card I made for Kasia to go with it.

And--I got an envelope template at target for a dollar and was so excited to try it out, I made her a matching envelope for her card. I don't think I'm ever going back to plain envelopes again!

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!
