MALE OR FEMALE SMALL JOURNAL

 Hello everyone,

Sometimes ( lots of times ) I just want to play and make something as I go, no thinking involved, by, thinking ahead what it will end up like, I just fold card stock or cut and envelope by mistake ( that is coming up ) . and just going with the flow.

On this day I folded a card in half

then did it again and glue the together..

started making mats and pockets..

then took a 10 min recess while I gazed at these papers 

wondering if this is the day I may cut into them..

and I did, and covered the panels and pockets..

Ephemeras I made ages ago, little envelopes with

6x6 papers and tags..

and in they went..

one or two of them made it..

then my Tim Holtz paper dolls came out to play..

Well, that sit down for a while didn't happen, 

not in my craftroom anyway..

front

Lots of embellishments, stickers, ephemeras, from different sets..

I love to add envelopes too, they hold surprises..

and using tiny black velcro dots for closures

then I had a play making a closure for the book my using my wooden cogs and gearts.

inked then and layered them up..

quite a few layers..

then they were lovely and thick and rusty looking 

and added onto the elastic tie holding the booklet together

Added a few more bits to the cove and I was done..

So, there's another one and so much fun, just doing stuff..

Thank you so much for stopping by..I'm off for a walk to the shops, such a nice brisk Autumn  day..

I'll see you soon..

WE ARE SAILING..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON  time and it's our lovely JanR as hostess this week and her them is..

" That song..inspired by a song or use music notes, song sheets etc "

When I die cut this panel for the nautical card

last week, I saved this little panel and folded it in half and the 

beginning of my project for this week was done.

                                     

I popped a background of music note paper and added a lighthouse 

ephemera piece onto the front corner..

a bit bendy..

but she doesn't care..

Some torn packaging for waves..

and I added a boat sailing in front of the rising sun..

Laying flat you wouldn't really know

that it was all glued down on back panel.

and my card was inspired by Rod Stewart " Sailing "

So do come and join us HERE

This whole picture thing was copied and pasted ,as all of a sudden, without touching or doing anything, my photos wont load on blogger...hopefully it is a glitch and will come right by itself otherwise we are all in big trouble if I have to start fiddling.

thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

MINI TAGS

 Hello everyone,

I made for some or mainly for something to do, mini tags..I found them in a garage sale pile that I had purchased and put away when I got side tracked with all the dies in the box..

So I stickered them and inked them splattered them and put the into my ephemera box for another day..

So here they are, some of them and I got them for 50 cents..

so sticker time, I love my stickers, 

and made all sorts of themes... 

Flowers, butterflies, mushrooms, also fruit..

The fruit stickers are new..

and the animals I had awhile and wasn't sure what to do with them.

except for the bears on some ATCs.

Penguins too..

Then this happened..

I white embossed the text and while heating, my penguins melted..

so went onto just black inking..

So everyone had black ink text stamping..

Then white splattering

and some black..

finally I had 5x6=30 of them..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

ATC TIME

 Hello everyone,

I had a play the other day making some more ATC's..

and serviettes..love these and I covered each ATC card 

stood one of them up to dry..he was being a pain.

the others dried no stress at all..

ripped the edges off by using a bit of water and a rub..done..

After cutting birds bath and birds from " Find it Trading " Amy Designs

out came the tiny black beads for the eyes on the birds..

then the plain  white die cut butterfly needed some gems 

and glued these on one and time, but went really quickly..

then they were done..three bird..

Three butterfles...

and the blossoms were the background..

thank you so much for stopping by..

I'm having a play day today, anything goes..

Luv CHRISSYxx
