CHRISTMAS IN JULY..DT

 Hello everyone,

Welcome to a new challenge over at Little Red Wagon and I'm your hostess this week and my challenge for you all is " Christmas in July" 

I don't really do much in halves, I cannot help myself when I start something because things keep popping up in my head and I add, and add, and add. so I made a booklet called the 12 days of Christmas and added lots..

This double side very heavy duty paper pad is stunning, I love the slight vintage colours and patterns and ordered another pad that I have hidden away for another day...and the first fold is fold up..this

makes the pockets..

open the papers 12 x12, and fold across, then open fold up and across

and done, that way the papers stays even..

So I have my folded papers and now going to join them all together 

with this gingham matarial.

Ta da..

and lovely movement inside so all the papers open flat..

then decoration and ephemera making time..

and started with labels..

perfect..

I used stickers Christmas papers 

and made theses circles.

which were popped onto tags

with added red tab tops by tying them on with gold sparkly cord..

Holly loved the doilies

and then another add on.. I printed the 12 days of Christmas

song and cut into strips to add onto the back of each tag..

with a TH paper clip.

the cover..

the end..

So are you singing yet?

Do come and join us HERE

Would love to see you..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you real soon..

ENVELOPE FOLIO

 Hello everyone,

I've done the grandson bit and was quite tired after he left, he is so easy to watch as he is old enough,BUT, it still makes you tired and good to put your house back how you like it..

Onto todays project..I made another folio....from envelopes.

These are the papers I pick out to use up A5

Two black envelopes with flaps facing toward each other..

Connect with a trimmed piece of the pattern paper..

Then add two more, one on each side the flaps glued to bottom of envelope..

and line the insides..

When outer envelopes clos decorate the glued bit..

covered the front

gave it a notebook

then decorated it with Mintay Ephemera

Made my own screw..die cut a small circle in grey

 and made a black line down the middle..

and sewed in the signature

and glued some book pages inside the cover

A belly band was added to the front of the folio 

and a perfect place to slide the journal in..

All opened up and time to decorate inside..

with loads of stickers and stamps and used quite a bit ephemera

that I had made in the past like pouches with tags inside..

and done..

Thank you so much for stopping by

I'll be back with a DT project tomorrow..
