We had a wonderful weekend weather-wise here, so lovely after the long, hard winter!
Hope you have all had a good start in the new week.
Yesterday I made a little set of ATCs in a booklet. I used some DP for the covers, something I have had for years in my stash, and at last it has been used!
I used speciality paper from LaBlanche for the stamping. I used various travel motives to represent London, Paris and New york. The backgrounds have been distressed with DIs in Victorial velvet, antique linen and vintage photo. I added some die cut lace to the Paris one, 'bunting' and waves for London and New York
They fit snugly inside the booklet, which has a strip of the die cut lace (Martha Stewart) front and back.
The booklet can be tied together with ribbon.
I made a little collaged motive for the reverse.

Fashionable Stamping - anything goes

I used the cover I showed on Saturday to make a concertina album. The covers have been made from chipboard, painted white and clear varnished.
There are some stitched inserts for journaling between some of the pages.
Linking to Creative Corner -anything goes.
Have a great day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Beautiful work Val, both pieces look gorgeous! Hugs, Sarah
