I stamped the corners with the Petite Floral Swirls and colored them with pencils. I added some liquid pearls and Posy Patch flowers that were stamped and cut. The center sentiment is cut from the matching designer paper. The blue lacy piece peeking on the right side is from the Decorative Blossom Corner Die that goes with this collection. I add a bunch of fibers and ribbons to the key rings and a charm, then a bow to the sentiment.
These are picture of the inside pages. Each page has a pocket containing journal blocks and sentiments from the designer papers that you can add pictures to. I also decorated some of the pages with assorted stamps.
This is the back cover. I used the designer paper for the base and the sentiment is another block from the designer papers.
This is a view from above...
I hope this gives you a little inspiration of some of the different things you can do with these papers, stamps, and dies. This makes a wonderful gift for someone special and is actually fairly simple to make! This chipboard book I used for a base is from Michaels' $1.00/1.50 bin that I just covered with paper!
Please visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see all the designers' gorgeous creations this week!
I'm submitting this to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #65 where anything goes.
Blessings!
