BIRTHDAY PAPERS

 Hello everyone,

I'm back sooner than I thought, but had to share some things I received for my birthday and what I did with them..


These gorgeous travel style papers from Cia Bella 12 x12
called Eastern Journey..
and decided to make a booklet...which nearly turned in the War and Peace picture novel!!


This I decided was going to be my cover..
with other stuff added of course.


I made cream pages and the hinges


Lots of the papers had such good size pictures like A5 size, 
made things a lot easier for me..


and so many cut apart sheets..


The pale blue flowers featured through the pad ,but for me never enough, 
so I tried die cutting some, but they weren't the same 
but still poked them into gaps.


see..


All the fussy cutting and panels ready for action along
with ephemeria I made up.
That's is when it hit me..photocopying


so I cut the flowers out


and copied and copied and copied..
now I was happy..

















I made the envelopes and tiny tags




and I used the flowers as pockets in some cases




made flaps that open into something else



and vintage cream lace everywhere, plus lace hides boo boo's







I added film strips from my stash and ephemera


and these pale blue floral papers just blended right in
 when I was getting low..perfect.


And there we go..done..
I hope there weren't too many photos..
Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Your travel themed papers come together in a richly layered booklet, and the fussy cut florals, envelopes and lace accents create a lush vintage feel that makes your project captivating.
