SIMPLE AND FUN..

 Hello everyone.

My mouse went out of control over the last week or so and on Saturday....it died and shortly after, my keyboard died too..what a weekend, I have a touch screen so could move around a bit, but couldn't leave comments or anything as I could not type!!! My Son was staying this weekend end and bought me a new mouse and gave me his old keyboard so at last I'm up and running again..

I was watching you tube the other week and this project came up and so I made my own, twice as it was so easy, and called it "One layer Booklet".. but I suppose it could be a card for Birthday etc..


One piece of card rolled over, not folded and scored, just a gentle-ish roll..


I mad esome tags using TH card stock and sprayed it to get this colour,
 ( it was in my stash, and just wanted to use it )


some old book pages..


and a load of pockets with pages glued on and things slipped into the pockets...


decorated back and front with tags, a photo, letter 8 cause it looked good and added an arrow and just
things like that..


Tied it with a leather strip /cord and first one was done..
Seemed a shame to end it, so, I made another..


same card stock as it folds just nicely and die cuts really well,
 so cut out some bottles..


This cardstock is so scrummy..


fished out some papers too and made labels for the bottles..


pockets filled. tags. round discs with numbers and numbers on their own too..


added bottles and tags on the front with a clip closure this time..


and the back..so much fun..


and the two together..
just as the sun came in my room and turned all my photography yellow..

so, there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

and..

my paper bag got a top 3 spot..

I really enjoy seeing what you've been up to. How lucky for you that the keyboard and mouse died whilst your son was there and he got you going again. These are very cool projects you did, hope you have uses. That's what stops me, I'm too practical and probably lack your energy as well. Seems like I'm always behind and disappointed I can't make time for stuff I want to make, ack! XOX

Wow, this is such a brilliant wallet fold design! I so love all of the details you've added with these fun Vintage style images! So sorry to hear about your computer mouse and keyboard! Just today, Google decided to sign me out of my account, so not sure how many anonymous comments I left without people knowing who I was! LOL
