HIGHLAND COWS ALBUM..

 Hello everyone,

last year my daughter and son in law went for a trip over Europe and UK and Scotland..Scotland was to see her favourite animal of all time..HIGHLAND COWS..

When they came home she was sharing pictures  on Facebook etc so I right clicked and saved, re sized and printed made her an album for her birthday in March..now I can share.

I made the album with the hinge technique, so easy and as long as you keep an eye on it it will be straight!!

The inside hinges were covered with sunflowers paper as I think it looks better.

with the hinge gluing the book spreads all the way open.

So I will start with the cover and end with the cover and not say another word, unless I find it very very important..

So there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by, so much appreciated..

I'll see you again soon..

PS, she absolutely loved it and had no idea that I was doing it, so that made me happy because boy is she a snoop and can pick up on things, but not this..

SPRING TAG..

 Hello everyone,

I'm back already as I had such fun making some tags..

there were four of these pre cut tags in my box but one got accidently glued to my desk and I would rather not talk about how the heck I did that..so started with three tags.

I then stenciled Fossilized Amber( TH ) oxide ink

 through it here and there..

then die cut theses tulips and then had

 a go at sponging colour on them using more oxides

Glued the flowers in place ( Fossilized Amber again )

out came the butterfly drawer and picked this one..

then I made two more..coloured the same with oxides

Picked Raspberry, and Wilted Violet and 

matching butterflies..

added some ruffle gingham lace upside down for grass

along the bottom and black ribbon in the top tab..

This was my favourite and first tag so going to enter this one at Tag-along(and ATC's)

a close up of stamped sentiment..

So there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you again soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

and I made him, well, all of them, 

coming from behind the trees.

There's my three bears..
