MY LOVELY ALPHAS IN A TIN

Here I've made a L/O for a pink challenge but I've used the Alphabet in a tin HERE but mine was a Pink version ! They are a good sized font (i have used 12"x12" and ideal for a title .I've rubbed them straight onto textured card stock too and they work a treat . There are tons of letters in the tin so you will be able to spell the word BUBBLE etc. without buying two packs !!! (long story) :D

Message from the Guv: Don't forget we have an additional 20% off everything all month long ... which makes these alphas (I have them in every colour! LOL) even better value. Just use the code NOV2008 at the checkout!!

ANOTHER DR SEUSS from me this time xxx

DR SEUSS
I have made a L/O using these colourful papers Eggs and ham & The places we go . i knew exactly what photos i was going to use ,seeing my daughter loves the Dr seuss books.
Firstly the cardstock was plain white 12" x 12" HERE .I added the cut out words all around the edge and a simple ABCDE as the title Some added stickers for the cats speech bubble You can buy these here too they are clear stickers. Just to add even more colour ive added some Brads a thing i dont use very often anymore but they look fab & bring some interest to the page. You can buy a whole range of Brads Here .
Hope you like it was really fun papers to work with and my Daughter loves looking at it.

MY LITTLE MINI BOOK (inspiration)

Heres pics of my little mini book . You can buy EVERYTHING you need for it and have a mountain of stash left over to make cards , L/Os , more minibooks etc... in the Personal shopper

All ive done is cut and folded pages out of one sheet that had squares already. Added a few accents that matched and printed my photos super small ,with a lot of journalling . Hope you like & go on make yourself a book of inspiration.

A L/O with an owl !!!

I have made a L/O using an owl i made just cutting out shapes from PP using lucky dip pack.

The tree was hand drawn and cut same as the owl & the title.

To make the owl i folded a piece of paper longways . Drew a basic owl shape (like 1/2 snowman shape) added an ear then cut out & unfold. The mask was the same this time drawing a bean shape ! Drew round my glossy accents bottle for the eyes a triangle for the beak and some feet and pupils...simple !

Hope you like xxx
