SECOND PAPER PACK..

 Hello everyone,

I'm back again with a second book/journal. using another paper pad set from my son and partner from my birthday and another Cia Bella 12x12 plus the 8x8 " Typographic " plus Tim Holtz screws and All and Create Butterflies..wish I could find more of these..

In fact there are three parts to this project so will spread it around, so many papers and ideas and just had to play and play..

So here is part one..



The papers..( a slight gasp escaped from me just then )


The papers talked to me and wanted a writer journal made..


Timmy came to play with his typewriter..


cCt twice or even three times to get all the different parts
 into different colours..and added a message.


big butterflies 


cut aparts made into panels..


and a key hole die gave me the idea to pop a picture from one of the panels 
inside it like looking through the keyhole..


had these metal file brackets or whatever they're called


onto some of the papers with a tiny number on it..


more keyholes, keys and butterflies..



more free pictures from TLC was typewriter
keys and I printed them to the best I could 
to fit my small punch.


and then I found my spellbinders key 
and die cut him out in matt gold..


A butterfly placed the center of the book..



book made glued and inked..



panels ready to go on..


Then another idea..
Nuvo drops, gold and let it drizzle down like spilled ink.


So panels done, 


just a quick look to see it was not all that many pages


Another beautiful butterfly


more spilled " ink"


Cover









using ephemera that I made ages ago for a little colour




scrabble tiles



a little journal


stitched into place..















And done...phew..
What a great time I had making this book with more to come..

Thank you so much for stopping by and the comments you leave are so much appreciated..
I'll see you again soon..

luv CHRISSYxx

The rich mix of papers and all the clever details in your journal create such an engaging layered look and the typewriters, keys, butterflies and spilled ink effect work together to give your book wonderful personality and depth.

Wow you did an amazing job on this book. I forgot to say it last time, I hope you enjoyed a lovely birthday, I can see you loved one of your presents and made a wonderful creation with it. You always do such wonderful layering of everything, I like the ink spilling you did too, that is pretty cool. Gorgeous touches of lace and butterflies too. LOVE IT!
