Red Geisha Friend Book

Hi Everyone

A different book to share today.  I was asked to make this for a friends daughter who is leaving Junior School to go to Secondary School.  Some of her friends are going to different schools so we made her this book so that she could get her friends that she won't see anymore to write her a message!

This book is 6" square and cut from 2mm board. Normally I make blank pages to go in these books as they are used for journals, notes or photo albums.  This time though I decided to decorate the pages.  This did limit the amount of them but there is enough for the messages!  The Image is from Little Blue Button and is called Sweet Geisha Charlie and I coloured her using ProMarkers.  I went for a different effect with the cover and left the left hand side white rather than cover the whole lot!!  My Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Pomegranate Shade and the patterned papers throughout are Wild Rose Studio.  I printed the sentiments off on the computer so that the young girl could fill in what year and her class.  I added Paper Flowers, a Silver/Red Heart Charm and some Red Clear Gems to finish.  I decorated the inside pages and also made a notes section on the inside of the back cover.




These three pics are one of the pages, the notes section and the back cover.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and sharing this book with me.  Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think.  Hope to see you again soon.

Thank You Teacher Gift

Hi Everyone

Today I would like to show you the End of Year Book that I made for my daughters teacher.  It was her first teaching post at our school and I have to say that my daughter has really had a great year with her.

I decided she needed a memento of her first year so I made her an end of year book and got all the children to sign their names in it.  I also added a class photo in it for her.

I used an image called Spells for Beginners from Doctor Digi. This Guy had to get in touch with his feminine side as I needed to make him a bit Pink!!!! I coloured him up using ProMarkers and added Diamond Sparkles Glitter to the ball at the end of his Staff! 
The Book is 6" square and cut from 2mm Board. I covered the front and back cover with a Bazzill Basics Romance Shade and the Star Papers are from Scrap and Craft. I typed the sentiments (I don't know what else to call them lol) on the PC and printed them out. I used a Memory Box Precious Star Die and cut these from the Romance too. To finish I added Pink Pearl Gems. The inside pages I decorated in different colour star paper and then gortthe children to write their names on them. There were 5 in total and a notes page. On the inside of the back cover I put the class photo.

I am not sure what happened to the photos as I took this one before I put the hinges and star charm on and then cannot find one of the completed one!

I would like to enter this book into the following Challenges

Anything Goes Kitty Style!

Hi Everyone

It is the start of a new challenge at Creative Craft Cottage 



The theme for the next two weeks is Anything Goes.  We would love it if you would come on over and join in with us.  We have some great sponsors once again.  Once of them is Robyn's Fetish and I chose an image called Kitty Play to work with which I have coloured using ProMakers.


For my DT card I used a 6" Square Card Blank and my Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Marine shade.  The Patterned Papers are from Scrap and Craft.  I used a Go Kreate Circle Die to cut the image and then layered this onto a Scalloped Circle Die Cut which I cut using a Spellbinders Die.  The Happy Birthday was stamped and punched and then I used a small Spellbinders die for the Scalloped Circle.  I made a Flat Bow and added a little button to the centre of it.  To Finish I added Brown Pearl Gems.

Morning Glory Notebook

Good Morning Everyone

This is my second post for today.  I would like to share a Notebook I made for a friend.  She loves Purple so I went with this colour and I just had to use ArtbyMiran's Morning Glory for this book.  I saw this image in the shop recently and had to have it lol!

For this note book I have cut 2mm board into A5 size and used a Bazzill Basics Purple Shade to cover it and then Patterned Paper from LOTV The back cover was done with the same.  I used a Memory Box Alphabet Die to cut the NOTEBOOK Letters and the Butterflies.  I glued on string pearls to a wide lace and popped this on to edge the bottom.  I have added a Silver Butterfly Charm to the top hinged ring, paper flowers and Pearl Gems.
Inside are Blank Pages.

I love making these books and you will no doubt see quite a few more of these appearing on my blog over the next few weeks!!

I would like to enter this notebook into the following Challenges

Creative Sketchy #2

Hi Everyone

It is time for a new sketch challenge at Creative Sketchy Girls 


We have another fabulous sketch for you and we hope that you will come on over to the blog and link up your entry with us,

We also have a great sponsor.  Bugaboo Stamps are kindly sponsoring this challenge and the DT have made some lovely inspiration for you using their images.


The Image I chose is called Pretty Flower Girl and I coloured her using ProMarkers.

 
As you can see I decided to rotate this sketch 90 degrees.

For my DT Card I used a Bazzill Basics Pink Shade as my Base/Frame Layer and the Patterned Papers are from Crafters Companion.  Not much else to it really as I think the papers show the image off quite nicely and didn't want to busy it up too much.  So i just added some Pink Pearl Gems to finish.

The ABC Challenge - L is for Lots of Layers
Simply Papercraft - Anything Goes

Vampire Notebook

Hi Everyone

Recently we had a new release in the store at Fabrika Fantasy.  (5 new colouring pages to be precise!!)


I have coloured up this one called Vampire Marchioness and as you can see I have resized the page to suit this book that I wanted to make.  I coloured the image up using ProMarkers.

Visit the store to see the other fabulous Digi Stamps and Colouring Pages and also don't forget about the Summer Contest that is happening in the Fabrika Fantasy Facebook Group

I made an A5 Notebook.  I used a 2mm white board and then layered some Bazzill Basics Blackbird and then some patterned paper which matched the colours of the image.  I used a Poppystamp Cobweb Border die to cut the Cobweb along the bottom.  I added a silver heart charm which has a black stone in the middle and then popped on some black and white buttons and some grey pearl gems.

I would like to enter this book into the folllowing Challenges


I loved colouring up this image.  I hope you like my spooky note book!  Thank you for visiting and I hope to see you again soon.

Green Geisha

Hi Everyone

Its the start of a new challenge over at CCC Digi Creations


The theme for the next two weeks is Release The Glitter.  Please come and join in with us this fortnight and share your sparkly creations with us.

We have some fabulous sponsors for this challenge and one of them is A Day For Daisies.  The team were kindly given  a choice of images and I chose to work with this one (as my friend loves anything oriental).  She is called Green Lady and I colored her using ProMarkers.


  I added some dovecraft red glitter to the hat decorations and used a clear star gelly roll to add a glittery effect to the poppy centres.  (I am not very good with flowers but they look like poppies lol!)

I decided to make a book for my friend (who enters challenges).  This book has all the challenges that I follow each month.  It will save her having to look up.  I arranged them in order of weekly, fortnightly etc and per day.  Hope that makes sense!!  She now has a complete list to check through and also to add to.  To make the book I used white board.  My Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Green Shade and the Patterned Paper is from Dovecraft. I used some silver hinged rings to keep the book together. I added some red paper flowers and some red beaded strands.  I decided to call it The Challenge Bible lol!  I popped on a Silver "C" Charm as her name begins with this and to finish added some Black and Red Pearl Gems.




Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and share this book with me.  I do love making these books as they have so many uses!!  Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think.  Hope to see you again soon.

Lavender Time at the Craft Cottage

Hi Everyone

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Creative Craft Cottage 


The theme for the next fortnight is Add a Lavender Ribbon or Bow.  This challenge is dedicated to the owner of this blog who sadly passed away at the end of May.  She is greatly missed by the team.  Lavender is the Awareness Ribbon colour for All cancers so this is the reason behind this theme.  The sentiment I chose for my card totally explains how much I miss our daily chats.

One of our sponsors for this special challenge is Lacy Sunshine Stamps and I chose an image to work with called Love is in the Air and coloured this with ProMarkers 



I made a Twisted Easel Card.  My Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Card and the Patterned Paper is from Wild Rose Studio.  I used a Lavender colour trim down the side and added satin bows to this.  I also popped on a larger Satin Bow.  I added Paper Flowers and Hand Stamped the Sentiment which is from Inkylicious.
