Christmas Mini Book

Every year I make a Mini Book to showcase all of my Christmas photos. This year I decided to concentrate on reds and greens as I appreciate some of you don’t “love” Christmas like I do, and it made it easy to change the book from Christmas to Autumn/ Winter if you wanted to.
I mixed stamping with die cutting and trying to keep it as simple as possible.
Here is the book taught last Wednesday.


I made sure that all of the pages and pockets were cut out and scored to make easier to put the book together.
I also kept some of the pages very simple to allow the class to add their own embellishments and ideas.
Here are a few of the pages and tags.












This book will be released as a kit with a full tutorial at the end of this week. Have a great day xxx

A Circle of Buttons

Once I got into the circles theme I thought a second circle layout would be good, so rather than the bright colours of Autumn I decided to use the beautiful Blue cardstock which jumped out at me from my paper stash.
Layout Two

The blanket stitch around the circle was challenging mainly because I completely forgot how to start it off in class and had to sit in a chair quietly for a few minutes to get my mind around it. Got it in the end though

And another thing that totally escaped me was that I used a circle of button especially for Sue who I completely forgot, was not coming to class (hope you’re well soon xx)

Oh well the thought was there and I really enjoyed the sewing.
I’ll upload the Mini Book tomorrow if I can and for those of you who came to class, I should have the instructions in the online classroom very soon.
Have a great weekend xxx

Autumn Layout

I love the gold's, oranges and rust of the autumn leaves as they fall from the trees and make a carpet on the ground, so it was great fun to make an autumn layout using those lovely colours.
Here is the first layout from class on Saturday.

I am really loving the gold Glamour Dust. It brought the leaves to life.

And the little acorns made from brown card

And the Tim Holtz alphabet title.

And not to many groans when I announced that I had sewn the border on the circle.
Loved this one. I’ll post the second one tomorrow. xxx
