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.

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
