Summer theme


I made another little Mini Traveller's Notebook.
This one has a summer theme and the perfect size
to pop into your handbag/luggage to keep track
of your summer holidays.

It has been laminated and closes
with an elastic and a little charm.

Inside has 3 notebooks for writing and a few little
tuck spots for notes and cut parts from the paper pack.
I trimmed the books with lace and braid from my neglected
fabric drawer.

I have used papers from Echo Park
called Dive into summer.
Embellishments - lace, braiding, charm, tulle, elastic
and my laminator.

You can watch a quick walkthrough here

Have a lovely weekend!

Having a play!



A nice way to start the week? Yes!
I am using up lots of neglected stash,
getting use out of my older stamps
and using up some of my ribbon stash!
For my tag I have used stamps from Scrapberry called Best Friends,
papers were a gift from my lovely friend Carol
and I embellished it with a sentiment card from a paper pack from
Echo Park called Dive into Summer.
The shape has been punched using my best trio punch (SU)
and I finished with a scrap of ribbon.
The little girl has been coloured using markers and
then fussy cut.

So to go along with my tag I had to include an ATC.
This time I went all inky using a stamp set
from AALL & Create (thank you Carol)
called See you Soon.
I used tahitian tide and boho blue inks (SU)
for the background along with a stencil
which was free with a magazine a long time ago.
The flowers have been coloured with
gel pens so they would cover the inky
stencilling beneath them.
I finished off with some enamel effects in grey
to add some texture.

my stencil has stripes and dots


So have I tempted you to have a play?
Our new challenge will be open for the
1st May and our very first theme is
ANYTHING GOES
so get some practise in and be sure
and hit the follow button HERE!


After all my gardening I have ended up with a very
sore back! I can't sit, stand or lie without severe pain!
So not much fun until this subsides!!
Gardening will be a spectator sport from now on!!!

Summer has begun!



I had this lovely pack of paper which had only a few sheets used
and I thought it would make a perfect album for my
Grandsons Sean and Tom for their holiday adventures this year.

The paper pack is from Echo Park called Dive into Summer
and it is full of lovely papers along with these great little
cut outs which work perfectly with the photos.
They have had one quick camping holiday already
and have just upgraded from a tent to a camper van so
lots more photos to come!

For the album itself I followed a tutorial from Gloria Scraps.
It measures 5" x 3 1/2" and has flip ups, tri folds and pockets.


Thankfully I had just enough papers to cover everything!!
I decided on a snap button closure as it was not staying closed
as I packed it with so much stuff lol and in order to secure
my closure I had to back the front paper in sticky back plastic!

 

I used some fabric on the side for a beachy look and added a little charm.

It's overcast but dry today so we are heading out
to paint the fences!!
Enjoy your weekend.
