Bind It All Book number 2

This book was made using the Huge Funky Word Book cd and the book spells out DJHD, which stands for DJ - Howard Donald (from Take That).
I made this book for my friend Yvonnes Birthday, she's as mad about Howard as I am about Jason :-)), and it was also a souvenir of her visit to Glasgow where we met up with a few of other TT fans who had travelled up from England to see Howard DJ at Byblos club in Glasgow. As you can see I got a bit more adventurous with my embellies and added in some more detail inside too. As well as adding in some piccies, I outlined all the letters with a gold krylon pen to add a bit more definition to the letters, some little charms etc and I know Yvonne was delighted with it - job done!! You can see from the photo on the left
we got right up front & got some pretty good piccies of Howard mixing the disc & causing a stir
on the dance floor :-))
The piccy below is of all us mad "Thatters" having a drink in the pub before going to the club.........a bit of 'dutch courage' in my case, as it's years since I last went clubbing - ha ha!!!!

Bind It All Book

This is a book a made some time ago for my mum, it was really my first attempt with my BIA and I used the Funky Daze cd for the lettering & papers. Inside I made a little poem about how I feel for my mum & added some piccies of myself, Jamie and my mum & dad together. She was really delighted with it and since then I've made a few more with added details................and I just love my BIA - took me long enough to get around to using it.

Birthday Card

This is a Birthday card I made for my friend Hels, the papers are BG, ribbons from Crafty Ribbons and prima flowers, scalloped cardstock by DCWV, and the lovely little bird stamp was a freebie from Craft Stamper magazine & was designed by the lovely Hels herself!! (the birdie is part of the Stichels range available from The Artisitc Stamper) Hope Hels likes her card!!!

Friendship Card

This is a card I made for a forum friend, who's had been a bit upset of recent & I just wanted to let her know I was thinking of her. The Friendship stamp is from Tim Holtz /Stampers Anonymous is is one of my favourites as it's so versatile........which translated, means I use it a lot!!! lol!!

Hope you like my card - thanks for visiting & please leave a comment for me.

More Birthday Cards

This is a card I made for one of my dear forum friends.
I used adirondack stream ink to make the background, then put a piece of white card through the cuttlebug , which I coloured with a lovely pink chalk. Next I used my favourite Penny Black Happy Birthday stamp, again using the stream coloured ink & edged with the pink chalk. I added a Prima bloom, and to finish it off edged the card with a navy blue ink. An insert completed my card!!
Thanks for looking & all comments are appreciated

Mothers Day

For this year's Mothers Day card for my mum I thought I'd try something a bit different for me,
so I came up with the idea of an Exploding Box...........to be honest I wish I'd never bothered!!!!
I just couldn't get my head around it at all.........all the layers were already cut out, and it just needed decorating, but some obscure reason I just couldn't get to grips with it. In the end up - I only finished earlier tonight & to be honest I'm not at all happy with it. Fortunately I have an alternative card at the ready for my mum, but will give her the box too!!!

Fat Page

Recently a few forum friends have been ill & various people suggesting making up a fat book for the person(s) concerned in an effort to cheer them up & let them know their forum buddies were thinking of them, as I thought this was a lovely gesture, I decided to contribute too. I only have one page as I forgot to take photo's of the others - DOH!!!!. (Once again please click on photo for a clearer view)
