Sunday Scrapbooking.. Hello There

Good Morning Dear Reader; how are you today? Its very wet and gloomy today and our front path has flooded so i hope the rain stops soon or i shall be swimming to the car when i go out later today ;)

Today i have some layouts to share with you using the gorgeous Soho Subway papers from the Main Catalogue; I think these are my current favourite papers i love that you can use them for so many occasions and they are perfect for masculine themes as well as more feminine ones.

This page was made by using 3inch squares of the different DSP’s and then laying them out tile style with white mounts for the photos.  You can see that i have also used a piece of Co ’ordinations cardstock which i embossed and then sanded to show the white core.  On the pink floral tile i searched the remaining DSP for the pattern repeat so that i could line it up with the mixed bunch punch and then popped the punched section exactly above the original to give a simple but effective embellishment.

Must dash now as i am out this afternoon with some fellow demonstrators crafting this gloomy afternoon away; which is for me one of the best parts of being a demo is the network of fellow paper enthusiasts that i now know and count among my very dear friends.

Until next time

Ttfn

Book Christmas Tree

Morning; hope all is well with you.  So the tree from a book is finished!  Now this isn't my idea i have no idea where the original idea came from but i found my inspiration on my friend Emily’s blog.

So this was a copy of Mansfield Park and took me about an hour and a half to fold the 300+ pages whilst chatting to friends at craft group the other night.  I then sponged with different inks and champagne shimmer paint so it has a gorgeous shimmer.  Once happy with the colour i decorated with some linen thread vintage brads and little off cuts of crumb cake seam binding, and early espresso tulle.  The base pot was made using a little pot that had a previously housed the most gorgeous chocolate mouse.

I am now scouring the local charity shops for paperbacks as i want to make more!

Until Next Time
