AND PART THREE..

 Hello everyone,

Down to the last of the papers for my birthday paper pads..this time I made a booklet to inside, or in this case, on the back in a belly band..

I know a lot of the pictures are pretty much the same and that's because I take over a hundred then try to sort things out and I wait for things to dry and move on to something else and my picture gets mixed up, but I do my best..


These were an idea I had a long time ago and didn't turn out so
I just kept them for another day as this was it..


This is all the papers I had leftover and one or two I just couldn't cut the first time
but I have now and they are all in the books..


Like this stripe paper, I loved the stripes and it was hard to cut, but needs must.



So I cut and covered the edges here inside and out.


This page was from the 8x8 and I split it
so it fits both sides


I fussy cut pens and nibs and bottles of ink


and in my stast I had these Steampunk ephemeras and sorted out one or two
 I could use without going there in that direction..


and chose this beauty..


and ended up making a mini booklet ,long but thin-ish








oh,no, my finger got a boo boo..





So there it is all finished and quite a bit smaller,
tied with leather cord..


and it slips inside the back of the bigger book under the
chiffon tie and quite stable..

So there you go, all papers used up with very little, if any scraps left, I used all that I could..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
Ill see you Wednesday with DT stuff.

Luv CHRISSYxx

Using up the last of your birthday papers in a layered booklet gives the project such a nostalgic, vintage charm, and the mix of stripes, steampunk touches and carefully arranged elements makes the finished piece feel full of personality.
