I just took
Liz Kartchner's class "Mysteries of me" Fabulous class, I so enjoyed it! She took us step by step through this great project, altering a vintage book into a secret compartment to house a mini album all about yourself! Little secrets to journal about! I so loved making this and did not feel at all rushed, just did a bit each day or when I had time.
Here are my photos of my finished project!
This is the front of the little mini album that slots into the book.
A close up of all the pages together, I love my color scheme and all the ribbons showing.
Close up of the front, love the velvet floral ribbon and vintage lace.
One of the back pages that I added some bird detail, I drew the bird and leaves onto card stock and stuck in on and then went around it with pen.
I choose a picture of buttons for How do I nurture my soul, as one my reasons listed on my tag, because to me it symbolizes creating. And creating is one way I nurture my soul.
We also added felt pages in, love this idea as it really adds that extra touch of texture and warmth! Added some vintage lace and a little vintage birdie picture I found to the next tag. With some vintage sheet music I have.
I have so many quirks, its ridiculous! All my journaling was done on the back of the tags.
I also left some extra tickets and tags in for a later stage if I feel like adding more journaling.
This is the back cover, I added a piece of card stock to the back sheet music because it has a felt pattern on it, which just feel divine!
Anyway I just really wanted to share that today, will be back tomorrow with some nice pictures of my weekend, as we went away. TTFN (ta ta for now as Tigger from Pooh-bear says) {you tell I have kids?!!}
It is an event that features on gifts, decor, clothing, food, handmade goods.
my daughters
Some guinea fowl with their chicks
You know it's spring when you see this happening everywhere!! Ha ha. My kids wanted to know what they were doing... *blush* the sounds emanating from the male were hilarious. My daughter thought it was "cute" and started coping the sounds!! I was almost in hysterics with the questions and remarks my kids were making! It was all just too much!!
So a lovely day spent outside...alas I had bad hay fever the rest of the day from all the wind and grasses!
It's a beautiful day and I will be out with the kids today! Have a good day wherever you are!
I hope you enjoyed that! Don't forget that there is only 4 days left to get the ATC pre-made up pack if you want to sign up for the ATC class. If you don't want the pack, you still have until the 2 November to purchase the class.
I had three made like this...one for each who babysat for me. (my inlaws and sister in law all helped out)
For my son...it had a checkered flag which unfortunately fell off!
my daughter's....
And I wanted to share the wall motif I hand painted on my wall...I love it....something new and different!
