Powered By Imagination

Our inspiration at the crop last month came from Michelle Overton. MIchelle had created a delightful little flip book which was great for using up scraps and loads of embellishments.

I thought I would do mine about Billy, who else?  I have always been fascinated by the way he can pick up anything and use his imagination to turn it in to a car, a rocket, a plane or whatever else he fancies at the time.

So I gathered all the photos I could find of him playing and dressing up and these pics are the result of a few days at the craft table.

 

 

 

So thank you Michelle, your inspiration worked a treat. I really enjoyed the ease of this album. Everything came together so easily and quickly and it is a finished project! 

The paper bag book.

Well half term didn't quite go as plannned but as promised I have done a mini book since my last post.

I made this one out of brown paper bags. It was vey easy to do though it was quite time consuming covering the pages with patterned paper.

As this book will form part of my Disney collection I have tried to stick with the Disney colours of red, yellow, black and white.

As each bag is folded a pocket is formed so I have made a square tag to go in each pocket.

Of course the backs of the tags are just as important as the fronts.

 

It was a fun book to make and holds quite a lot of photos. I will also be able to put our tickets and brochures, day passes etc into the pockets to keep it all together.

 

 

I love those bling white gloves!

 

If you have enjoyed looking at my paper bag book why not leave me a comment. Better still

if you would like to make your own paper bag book why not come along to my August Workshop as I will be revisiting paper bag books for those of you who missed the class first time around.

 

They are really fun and easy to make!

 

Thanks for reading

The Show Goes On

I have agonised over this blog and whether to resurect it or not now that Skrapz is no more. I have no idea who comes to look at it or what I shall be posting but I have decided to get it going again purely for my own purposes.

So with half term begining today I shall aim to post one of my little projects by the end of the week. If nothing else I should learn a whole lot more about this blogging lark and how to do it properly.

Until later A x
