A Memory Book

Evening Everyone,

I have just spent the most enjoyable day prepping for my class tomorrow.

We are making books using the wonderful Sizzix Wrapped Notebook Die designed by Eileen Hull.

 I saw it on Hochanda some time last year and just had to have it,

but haven't had the chance to play till now.

Oh boy, have I had fun. I can see lots of people getting these as present.

I also have the Passport Journal die which cuts pages that perfectly fit the Wrapped Journal.

I die cut some more of the flower and foliage images that I used on the front only this time out of funky foam,

and used them to stamp on the pages using Distress Oxide inks.

It just gives the pages a little extra interest.

This is very Mixed Media for me.

I added some texture paste to the front through a stencil cut from card using a Tim Holtz die and then added a little Gilding Wax. 

I used elastic to fit the pages into the journal, and also as a means of closure.
I'm not sure that it will stand up to being carried around in a handbag, but it will definitely make a good place to keep lists so I think that I will make one as a notebook tomorrow.
I hope that 'The Girls' will enjoy themselves as much as I have.
Have a great evening.
Happy Crafting and Hugs
