SOMETHING TO DO FOLIO..

 Hello everyone,

I made this folio for something to do as my mojo didn't really want to play, BUT, then a lady came when I was half way through with quite a few orders which was brilliant..and a photo scrapbooklet to make with some found photos, from someone else,  so I'm onto it again..

a office file folder trimmed and fold..

that will work..

using up more papers from my stash..

both sides..

envelope with tie, that will come in handy..

long pockets inked and stickered..

envelope in place

and inking up left over circles again, they are fun to use up..

and make pockets or areas to slip something in there..

and a belly band on the back..

Then came the butterflies cut from patterned papers..

some black panels ( I think ) oh, yes, then I added a white panel

that is coming up in a minute..

I made a notebook to slip in..

and these fabulous numbers and address freebies from Lulu Crafts off Facebook..

and here we go...

using past ephemera

little note book inside envelope

The End..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'm off to do some more of the photobook Art Deco themed..

See you Wednesday..

Luv CHRISSYxx

FOUND THEM...

 Hello everyone,

Remember back in the day we had shops that sold cute paper pads and we bought them all and stashed them away never giving them a second thought, and after a long time we would clean a section of out craft room and LOOK!!

Rosies studio were sold at our "The Warehouse " store

and only this much..

so I felt a little travel booklet was in store..

and used every scrap I could and started that off by cutting the red white and blue strips off

to trim down to use many times.

Photo bomb, she's always lurking there somewhere.

I used my stripes to edge pockets..

filled with old postcards and paper scraps and tickets.

see..

used my dies and cut up some travel embellishments.

added TH suitcasesand numbers

lots of stamp from all over the world

an oval inside to write on and a panel for a couple of photos..

I didn't need to touch them as this is how they came about.

so there you go, a blast from the past and a lot of fun..

thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon..

" QUOTE "..DT

 Hello everyone,

Wednesday which means???? Little Red Wagon time of course and sharing that funny back I made from yesterdays post..

Our Imke is hostess this week and she wants to see quotes..

So I went literal with a quote from George Bernard Shaw..

This is what I was left with and couldn't throw away..

and added a circle die cut to write on and the quote on other side for the lad..

" Life isn't about finding yourself "

Life is about creating yourself "

The front of the card also has leftovers like the kraft circles and the the pocket.

it was an ATC which I made too small so added another card onto which

a book type pocket..

then I stuffed as much as I could inside...tags, bingo panel, and tiny tag..

too big tags on back pocket..

and that was it..

I always use up as many leftover and odd cuts I can..

 So do come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll catch up soon..

luv CHRISSYxx

PINK AND TEAL

 Hello everyone,

WOW, what a busy time in my part of the woods, kids, dogs, travel, chaos, flight details change, flight diverts, then they forgot someone !!! not me though.. I was at home doing the hard stuff, but it all worked out, the family had a wonderful 50th birthday down south, home now safe and sound and I'm back in my room and so happy...and have them all tonight for a 4 course dinner..

Today I'm sharing and pink  and teal card mainly to share the leftover bit which ended up in a DT project and showing that tomorrow, so thought I better get this posted so you can see where I was going or came from....confused?...me too..

so these are my papers, they are beautiful from Temu ( sorry )..

I made a card base and papered them up

 then out came a blast from the past, 

my Friskars border punch, my favourite..

I cut a few of them as the papers - panels were a little small 

and the the teal just bought an edge which looked better..

then on the inside a vellum envelope which is not glued together just 

glued inside the card with a panel inside that covers the glue..

added white lace on the edges 

and on the front with a gold sentiment..

an oval to write on..

wide open

and a tag with a doily on it..

then added butterflies inside the envelope..

and back to the beginning..

And now sharing this..it was a sheet of card that when I was doing another project and stamping all over the place I ended up with over stamping and test stamping with many stamps..

Well, I couldn't throw it away..so come back tomorrow and I'll show you what I did..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you tomorrow..

luv CHRISSYxx
