Hi you all!
This week I managed to finish the little album which I started some time back. I couldn't find the back cover anywhere, even after tidying up (or perhaps because of it!) so I made a new one. The pages inside have been made from card-stock in white, cream and vanilla. I bound it together with string and ribbon. I lined the inside covers with some printed card-stock, that I recently got from Christine. (Thanks again!)

The paper is white, I don't know why it looks pale blue here!

Have a great weekend you all, take care, and thanks a lot for visiting!
What an extra special made book this is. I like the way you have used corrugated card with gold, the bookmarks and the back page, but of course I like all of it.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, the books you make are such little treasures! Hugs, Sarah

How unusual and pretty your book covers are. Whatever the front and the lost one were like these must be better. What a desirable little book, so lovely I would be afraid to draw in it if it were mine!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteYour journals are as beautiful and artsy as everything else you do. Blessings, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI really do like your mini album and the front and back covers are really nice! I also like the way you bound your mini book - very effective.

I loved the front, now I equally love the back cover. I am not sure that CI stock those images any longer which is a pity as they are fabulous (although very saucy!).
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed my visit - I've been spending less and less time on-line but so good to catch-up.
