Sophia My Creations Board Book from Extravaganza

 Here is a board book which I made into a carousel piece. I used the Sophia level 2 paper packet and added cocoa cardstock and lots of ribbon :O)

 I scored the blush cardstock in a criss-cross pattern and sanded it and then added

sparkles .

 This photo of the right actually tucks into the pocket made by the cocoa cardstock.

 Lots of white embossing powder added a textural feel to the cocoa cardstock

and on the right hand page I added a interactive fold out section

perfect for adding lots of photos.

 All unfolded :O)

 My creations A-dor-ables added more interactive fun and I made a flower

as a handle to open the 'door'

This section was made from the front and back covers of the book. I sliced

through the fold on the spine of the book and then pulled the covers together so that

it formed a circle (hope this makes some sort of sense).

The ribbon hides the join :O)

Hope you like it :O)

My Creations Board Book Mini Album

This little book of fabulosity documents an afternoon of fun at Coughton Court in the UK. My dear friend Victoria and I spent lots of time in the gardens and grounds as well as inside the beautiful house. We had so much fun playing hide and go seek in between the hedges and down the gravel paths :O)

 I love these hardboard books by CTMH. Instead of opening it in the usual fashion I turned it through 90 degrees and opened it top to bottom. I used the Lucky level 2 paper pack to decorate it. Along with lots of the new Chocolate strip ribbon.

 I added a Milepost star and squared shape to the 2 pages which I had inked on the flat side. The Bling buttons are great for a way of adding sparkle. I also used the Bingo alphabet. I love the grid that is included in the set.

 Here I added the bronze Glitz Gel Glue (okay I can never say this to abbreviated it to 'squidgy stuff' at a class I taught last week lol) to the ridges of the milepost shapes. and on the bottom page I inked the flat side then stamped on it to. I love the fact that both sides are so versatile. 

 Again more milepost shapes and on the bottom page I added a fold out page - you know how I like to make my pages, layouts and mini albums interactive.

 Lots more ribbon :O)

On the last page I added 2 photos but cut them so that they were very narrow - but they worked perfectly with the photo subject.

Hope you like this little book as much as I do :O)

Zippedee My Creations Board Book from Extravaganza

Here is a board book which I covered using the Zippedee level 2 paper pack and matching stickease. Here I added liquid glass to the blue star dimensional element which I had inked in Indian Corn Blue and added the dots in black ink. I added spots to the letters to spell the words Disney.

Again I used the stamp set Just the ticket for added dimension and added sparkles and opaques to the tickets. I used a dimensional element star which I inked in Cranberry ink and stamped the dots in black ink and tucked it under the satin edged ribbon.

Here I liquid glassed the back of the buttons and then dipped them in prisma glitter. I stitched them to the cardstock using black waxy flax. This way the glitter is trapped between the button and cardstock. I used the black ribbon to accent the page.

I added a dimensional element which I popped up with 3D tape so that I could tuck the 4x6 flip flap underneath it to add another photo to the page. I added a sparkle to the stickease which was added to that dimensional element - which had been inked with cranberry ink.

I made the 'Mickey Mouse' from black cardstock circles which I then liquid glassed to make them shiny. Then added more dimensional elements on the right hand page - inked and then stamped the dots onto them in black. On the right hand page I also doubled the ribbon with the satin edged and black dot ribbon over the top.

I used the large stickease on the left hand page and placed it over the photo of Leo and again added dimensional element stars - then added a prisma glitter coated button to the frame. I used a circular dimensional element which I inked in black ink then liquid glassed to give a shiny finish. When it was dry i added the ribbon accents. more tickets completed the page.

This page used the stickease with a ribbon knot attached to the top.
