I spent the day two days ago making a mini book as I had so many things I wanted to keep and record about Colonial Williamsburg. Yes there will be more scrapbook pages but it was fun to do something different.
I found some very old paper I loved which was like crackled and old and I had fun using different embossing powder (goodness when did I last use them) to replicate the finish for the chipboard letters.
The cover is very dimensional and I made the flowers
I added lace onthecontrasting spine and a button and elastic closure
It uses a hinged system to hold the pages which are all pocket pages
You can see the hinge system here
the cover before it was decorated
The pocket pages covered but not decorated yet
I used two paper bags from the museum to act as inside covers and to hold journalling and the maps of the museum
It was a fun way to spend a Tuesday.
Yesterday i worked with Nigel doing a paint refresh at a local store. It was heavy dirty work but fun to do it together and heck -t hat's what baths are for!
- Today I am thankful that the headache I have had for a week is a little less - but I feel it building again. I wish I knew what caused it.
- Thankful for the ability to transormflat pieces of paper and card into a 3 dimensional book - such fun
Hi Karen,great mini book,I love making them.i have got lots of them with the pull outs and waterfalls.i haven’t made any for a while now.but I’m planning on doing more soon. The only ting is all the mess it makes,and having lots of bits and pieces of card and paper left,that I keep for using again.
Sorry that you are suffering from headaches,it might be all the paint fumes!
Take care

It amazes me that you finished that in ONE day!
That is something which would take me MONTHS to do--especially if I were making the flowers, too! WOW!
Sorry to hear about your persistent headache. I'm of the ilk that believes barometric pressure has everything to do with achy heads and stuffy sinuses. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
