WOYWW - back to normal

It's Wednesday and I'm on leave (yay!!) so no sneaking about posting from work this week :).  Some of you may still recall the freakily clean and tidy desk from two weeks ago, but normal service has now been resumed!

I've made another note book with my BIA and a coverall for my older DD for her birthday.  She is more of a pink girl so I went pink!  LOL. The heart and wings are grungeboard triple UTEEd and stamped.

Anyway, this feels much more like home again with all my mess and clutter.... much nicer than all that strange neat and tidy place!

Off now to link up over at Julia's place then visit everyone else's desks.

Happy Wednesday

A bit of a book

It's my youngest DDs birthday in just over a week, so I decided to have a play with my BIA and make her a note book.

I blended some brushed corduroy, aged mahogany and a little bit of walnut stain DI all over a bamboo spine cover-all, then I stamped a Crafty Individuals flourish with versamark on the top left and bottom right from corners and brushed on some antique gold perfect pearls.  I used a Basic Grey bling-it-on on the top right, then I blended some more brushed corduroy on the chipboard letters then spritzed them with golden fish cosmic shimmer mist.  The crown is a Maya Road chipboard one that I have covered with gilding flakes in yellow and rose gold then added some prima gems.  The heart is chipboard triple embossed with clear UTEE with some cosmic shimmer powders sprinkled in the last layer, then I pressed in a text stamp on to it all while it was still hot.

I put some more gilding flakes on the knobbly bits on the spine so it sort of looks like faded gold tooling on an antique leather book (well, sort of!!)


I used some K&Co 6 x 6 papers on the inside and stamped a Wendy Vecchi sentiment embossed with gold.

Happy Easter bloggers!
