THE BEGINNING AND PREP..

 Hello everyone,

The day before my DT project goes up and as there were so many photos I decide to show the prep first and the finished project tomorrow as my DT project..

First up, circles, must have my obsession month..

and loads of stickers to use up and they were the perfect size..

this was a paper pad 8x8 I got for my birthday 

wonderful cut aparts

and gorgeous scenes in very deep rich blues and browns..

I had to cut down to size so my method had to be clever..

I needed lots of label holders and made my own screw heads..

Tags with windows, 

( me and cellophane don't really get along, but we coped this time..)

layered up circles..

more tags for journaling poked into a bigger tag which,

 in turn goes inside pockets.

Some macrame cord ties with knots and round disc 

with gems and starfish for hanging or a bookmark..

Holes were punched and eyelets added..

and here that is all done..

for the cover I wanted a door, rustic type of thing, heavy looking.

so I cut and arch in two sizes with woodgrain paper and cut the small panel

 to fit onto the bigger panel and added a brad for door handle.

and I had a negative..mmm...this could make a window..

and it did and more of that cellophane and I nailed it..

put a gorgeous paper behind and added ephemera to the front..

time for a watery bottle using alcohol inks on a packaging pack!

It was so hard to die cut, just wouldn't cut so had to add card behind it..

bottle was done and a sticker in place and popped on the cork..

i also thought a shaker could be good..

so using a CD insert was a great help and quick..

This stamp and die set form Simon Says Stamp is superb and

 one of my favourites that I do not use often enough, 

No stamping, just die cut the floral paper and it looks like it was meant to be..

Two frames with leftover alcohol ink panels..

all the pages folded and ready in a very dark deep blue.

and here is my tray of goodness ready to play

 and the final pictures of the made journal will be up tomorrow 

for my Little Red Wagon DT post..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

YELLOW ROSES..

 Hello everyone,

Another quick post, this time yellow Roses..

The finished product..

and I used several sets of flower dies to make this one up..

Altenew for the roses and leaves and Honeybee stamps for the bud..

My papers were a happy accident, not a lot of yellow around.

Two more set of dies, my slimline trellis, and arches..

They both cut so well and make up what I wanted..

Nearly there

Just needed a gold embossed sentiment and some 

gold half round pearls and done..

There you go,

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

Luv CHRISSYxx
