Happy rainy day Tuesday.....


 

Hi everyone I hope all is well wherever you may be, maybe you even have sunshine !!!!!

Ok, so remember I was all ' I am making a book' blah blah blah

well I got really fed up with it and just finished it as fast as I could and now here is a very picture heavy post.....

The paper is a Range one, the metal corners are Temu and the metal fancy ones are from stash, had them for ages, oh and the leather look spine is also Temu., all stamped up and splashed with gold ink.


The papers I used are all Temu, the little tab is TH, this page lifts up, as they all should have but, well, bored so they don't....haha

Next up I got all playtime mood, the usual inking up, stamps and a butterfly, the little tickets are from a die I found in my stash...who knew.....

Love these papers, all ready for who knows what.

Trying to hold the darned thing open got abit taxing at this point...



This is a mini pocket with abit more colour, still loving these papers.




Last but not least made a little pocket with a window {no idea why } added a little chippy bike rubbed with gold. 


The tags for the pockets, all in those gorgeous papers all with tab tops and gold edges, I left the back blank for anything that someone wanted to do with them.


This is the spine, I put some suede strings on, I always used to add charms and bits and bobs but this time I just added a little pull handle, not sure why I was doing anything at this point I was so fed up.

The last time I made a book I said it was the last, I have made so many, some were even padded, one even had a little photo board inside, so I did used to put alot into them, but now, I just don't seem to have the patience...

Anyway, so sorry for the long drawn out post, I hope you got this far, tell me what you think.

Have a good day. xx

It's stunning Janette, absolutely gorgeous! Love all of your papers, tags and pockets, I have never made anything like this but really want to give it a go! Have been admiring Chrissy's fabulous journals and folders for a while now and thinking about it, now even more inspiration from you. .. problem is I take such a long time making anything I'd probably never get anything finished.
Weather has been lovely today, very warm but a breeze so not stifling like yesterday...but sky is very black now so think it might be our turn for the rain.

This looks like a lot of work, but absolutely gorgeous! I love the pull on the spine, very creative and that embossed "leather" is just perfect.
