Page One of My Book

Hi Folks. As my title states this is Page One of my little book I started to show some of my favourite artists. I am not sure if I will be continue this project. I thought the front cover was small enough but little did I know that the leaf pages were smaller. Lol!!! It was wrapped in a cellophane bag. I am use to doing larger projects with lots of lovely bulky
embellishments.

Cover of My Book

Afternoon peeps. It is sunny here at the moment but I am off in an hours time to the hairdressers and it always rains just as I come out what ever time of year it is. Lol!!!

My creation today is the front cover of a little book I am starting up to display some little bits of art from my favourite Artists. Never done one before so I thought it was about time I did. The only thing is I am not use to making things with very flat embellishments or doing the art on a small level. I am use to make big pieces of art. I thought I would start with the front cover first where I could put a few flowers on.

A Simple Clock and Butterflies Creation

Hi Peeps. A simple creation from me today, which is unusual for me to take the easy route. The sun is shining here today and it is very hot where I sit in my craft room. I have tried to open the window but we have been plagued with Ladybirds this year. The other day I was only gone a few minutes and when I came back the whole of my desk was covered in Ladybirds.

My 7 x 7 Card

Numbers all around the Clock Face in both Roman Numerals and Conventional Numbers in the inner circle. Also numbers on the Post Mark Stamps in the background. I state this for a Challenge I am entering.

Products Used

7 x 7 Card Blank - Anna Marie Designs
