I really need to make more of an effort to keep up with my blog. I've been rubbish at keeping things moving on here and must do better!
Anyway
It's Little Extra day over on The Daring Cardmakers and I'll get to that later, but first as I failed dismally to update the WaffleBlog over the weekend with pictures of my latest mini-book project as I'd intended I'm going to do that now.
I had the idea of making a zigzag book and with Lisa's birthday coming up thought I'd have a bash at making one for her.
Here's what I came up with
The front and back covers form part of the zigzag and a ribbon holds it all together, the front cover looks like this
I used Basic Grey Urban Couture papers throughout. Here are the pages, I made them in pairs so that there's room on one for a photo and the other for journalling/comments
Extra bits and bobs I used were ribbons from Ribbon Oasis. Cuttlebug corners from the "Vintage" die set, various Prima and other flowers
The back of the book looks like this
The theme for this week's DCM Little Extra isBaubles, Bells and Bows
Another chance to get some Christmas cards made. I think I've got about 65 in my box now, but I still need to make some more if I'm to have enough just for us to send this year.
I've done a few for this challenge and hopefully will get a few more done too - even if they are all pretty similar!
This is the one that's on the DCM blog today
stash used includes: DCWV Christmas stack, offcuts of Bazzill card, glitter card, buttons and ribbonsI addded some Krylon squiggles to make the background less dull.
Here are some of the other "baubles" themed cards I've been making using BG Dasher and Fruitcake papers, and the Holly collection from Crate Papers. The bauble decoration is a Bosskutz die
These all look great Kathy - I'm sure Lisa will love her book and you could count those bauble cards for the Friday dare as well, I reckon (you've got the touch of gold going on throughout).
ReplyDeleteFab bauble cards. Mines done but too dark for a piccie. I was desperately getting a layout done to blog today for the All About Eve challenge, love your body...ha ha
ReplyDeleteThe zigzag book is gorgeous. Fabulous papers. She will love it. I started a 4in page star book in lilac & pink for use as a crimble decoration but haven't looked at it since I have been ill.
I've finished the antibiotics & although I do feel a tad better in myself, the blocked nose is still a problem!! Oh that & the cracked lips & red hooter....yes lets love our bodies girlz!! :0)
No wonder you have not been blogging, you've been making all those cards!
