I want to give Big Thanks!
To all of you who participated in my 1st ever
Co-Hosted Giveaway on my blog!
You all have made the experience so much
fun for myself and for Melissa Samuels!
And please stay tuned in the next few weeks,
as I will periodically be doing Giveaways
again with some of my other Favourite
Shop Owners highlighting
some of my favourite products from them:)
That all being said.....
Here's a little sideline project I've been working on..
I've never made a journal from scratch before
but have watched many wonderful tutorials
on the net, so this is what I came up with:)
Great pad of wonderful water colour paper...
And a pizza box, cut down to size....
Hand sewn in my 'signature' packs of
the paper in groups of 4 sheet per,
folded in half and pierced the
fold with holes for sewing..
I took a old 1980's National Geographic map on
Earthquakes
and wrapped the pizza box with it, and proceeded
to paint, stamp, ink and cover it all with these
great cogs from Retro Cafe Art
(Link in my Favourite's Listing:)
and
Tim Holtz Grunge Lettering
Back of the cover:)
And I'm using a 7gypsies 'Book Bra' to hold
it all together....
Don't know if it is a
true journal, but it's certainly going to
end up being an 'encyclopedia' of my pages
when it's finished being filled up with my
art on the pages:)
So that's it for this week, and what an exciting
time it has been for me! I so appreciate you
all coming and participating in the Giveaway
and signing on for being a 'Follower' on my blog!
Lot's more to come to participate in and in turn
anyone you'd like to pass on my blog address to
so they can participate is much appreciated!
Have a great Holiday Weekend to both
my U.S. and Canadian Friends
this Weekend, and to all my
other Global Friends Thanks so Very Much!!!!!
Look forward to you email Cindy!!
The Winner!!!
Enjoy!
