*** and now thanks to Nancy, I will enter this in the current Mixed Media Color Challenge ***
The next project I made is for my daughter, Lori.
In case you haven't heard our squeals of JOY from here, she and her beloved Tim,
got engaged on July 19th! Whahoo! I thought that she might need a notebook of
some type to keep by her nightstand. You know how you always wake up in the
middle of the night with that great crafting idea? Yup, you probably need one
too. I just updated a cover from a Sketch Pad. It has 100 sheets of blank 60#
paper. She can write in it, stick post it notes, draw, glue and paste, etc.
all of those wonderful ideas she comes up with. And of course I had to add
just a little bit of bling.....after all it is a Wedding Smash Book! Who knew
there would be a need? lol
I've had this stash of s-e-I designer paper, chocolat for some time now, had to whip it out for this creation. I first glued it down to a piece of very thin chipboard, then applied that to the original cover of the book. I cut out the flowers on the left and glued them down, to add a bit of depth. Random bits of bling, a pleated strip of ribbon, and a strand of pearls. I cut several hearts out of that same thin chipboard, and layered them up and added glitter.
Yes, this also has one of my most favorite sentiments a Gina K Designs stamp from the Mr. & Mrs. Diva set.....happily ever after.....who doesn't enjoy that? The date was created with the Simple Numbers set.
I love to craft.....I love to create......but when you can do that for that special someone it sends me over the moon! I am one lucky MaMa......and I know it!
Next time I see this Wedding Smash Book I hope to find it overflowing with wonderful ideas.
Glad you took the time to come on by!
Enjoy your Sunday morning and I hope you can find the time to hide out in your craft room today!
Enjoy~~
