Feeling my age today

I'm definitely feeling my age today as Dan darling son is 17 today, so this time 17 years ago I had already been in labour for 30 hours and he was born at 12.36pm.


The tag card was made using the beautiful Cosmo Cricket papers called cogsmo, I just love the vibrancy of these papers.






All of the pages are bound together using the Bind it all and just a couple of toning ribbons to set the spine off.

Butterflies & dragonflies tag card

It's my sister in laws birthday tomorrow and i wanted to make her a special card, she loves fairies & dragonflies so I thought that these paper from Trimcraft fantasy & In the pink really suited this project.

Second page with Greeting
Inside second page the stamp is by Creative express first layer is stamped & embossed onto a deep pink Bazzill card and finely glittered, the second layer is stamped and embossed onto pale pink parchment, the butterfly is only fixed using dimensionals under the middle of the body so it give the illusion of floating.Third Page

Back page

The completed tag book constructed with Bind it all and finished off with ribbon bows on the spine

The pictures really dont do this justice & none of the glitter & Glitz show.

My first bind it all project

Well the postman eventually came on Monday, by the time I unpacked the box it was nearly bedtime & Tuesday I was ill all day so today is the first chance I've had to play with my new toy. I had already downloaded the paper collections from Nitwits
to make my Mum's birthday card.

I used 500gsm card cut into 3 tag shapes

Covered each side with different papers using pva glue

Using the Bind it all I put the three tag shapes together......Wow !!!
I'm very impressed with my new tool.

Through the back of the binding I tied assorted colours & types of ribbon.

The big flower is a Prima flower & the flowers on the right hand page are from the Nitwits collection and the buttons in the middle have ribbon tied through them & knotted.

All of the embellishments on this page are in the download collection, for the verse I put the printed paper through the printer again for the verse to be printed on co-ordinating paper.
