STILL USING SCRAPS AND BUTTERFLIES..

 Hello everyone, 

It is Friday here while I'm writing this morning, Holly and I had a huge sleep in and I was so surprised that I didn't here anything and so surprised holly didn't bite my face to go out, too cold and frosty I reckon and the undesirables were not home so no noisy screaming kids to deal with..lol..grumpy old lady.

So I'm back to share yet another folio and I used up lots of scrap on this one and had a wonderful time making it.

There are 26 photos, and I know because I numbered them when editing so I would not loose my way.


for my pages I have fallen in love with this stuff..
off white,  very large in size, thick, strong and cheap from KMart



all fold and glue together..with the hinges technique..


Tim coming out to play..


and my giant wall display butterflies..


throwing in some Kaiser kraft 12x12, love these..( scraps )


pages all covered


Leftover circles turned into pockets


see..


a photo mat frame that I over inked!!!



I used lace too and the photos are form the internet 
or Temu I cant remember.


Negative frame, I'll save that..


Negative numbers, but crooked, so will try better..


Tray full of stuff all ready to go...
I also used heaps of ephemeras I have made through the months.







my top hat die with sun glasses as I couldn't find my goggles die..


there's my negative and I kept it straight..






The end..

That used up a lot of scraps and a few new sheets for bigger stuff,,

thank you so much for stopping by..


she finely found the winter sun..

CARD PLUS..DT

 Hello everyone,

You know I'm going to say it, don't you, it's Wednesday again, it seems to be coming faster and faster in my book but as it is Little Red Wagon time I really don't mind, and this week it is our lovely Brenda's turn to be hostess and she has a fun theme - " Card Plus - decorate and envelope or make your own "

Well you would think I would have gone crazy, but I didn't, I kept things relatively simple..


An envelope and card and adore the green envelopes, I need more?


I lined the inside with papers from my stash


and a label on the front 


Went further with the back flap covered as well..


and some inknig..


The card front to match..



and a simple die cut thank you in white..
and that was it..

I've kept the template I made and thinking about doing this for Christmas cards..

So do come and join in



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

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
