Hi crafters!
This week on the blog hop we are working with another Sizzix die from Brenda Pinnick - the Album, Brackets, Bigz XL Die (#656053). Along with the die cuts in cardstock, I received some cut from Xotic Felt(TM) and Brenda's fabric in fabulous colors.
I put some of the die cuts together to make a small album that I'm calling a Wish Book. I've been dreaming of going to Hawaii for some time now. With the winter weather, a warm tropical climate sounds especially nice. I'd also like to return to Italy one of these days. One trip there just wasn't enough.
To make the album, I found pictures of these locales in a travel magazine and glued them to my pages. I left frames empty for my own photos. The frames are painted, covered with felt or with the fabric. Double Sided tape from Scotch(R) holds it together. The front is covered with the felt and a few of the leftover flowers from Brenda's Beauty Bloom Flower Die. I had trim from a previous project and some glittered florettes (Dazzlers(TM) by Petaloo) that I glued over the felt flowers. Then I tied it together with a scrap of ribbon. 
Thanks for stopping by on the blog hop! Keep on hoppin'!
Terry, your mini album is so pretty. I love the tropical bright colors and the embellishments you added. I hope your wish will come true!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely wish book! The colors are so vibrant and I love the fringy fibers.
ReplyDeleteLove your wish book! Hope you will make it here to Hawaii soon. We do have beautiful weather all year long.
ReplyDeletePerfect little album Terry. That another feature I like about this die. I'm not into really big albums. Love the colors and the materials you used. Hope you get to take that trip!
ReplyDeleteoh, I LOVE the idea of a wishbook! AND, I love travel- I'm all over this project...got to make me one. It will be a good project for those dreary, dark, cold January days! Thanks for the inspiration and for using my die!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Terry. And reminds me of a fun trip I had to Hawaii with the nice blues like the water there. Fun accents and cool project!
ReplyDeleteTerry, this book is lovely. I especially like the trim and glitter on the cover. You know I'm not a glitter girl, but this blog hop might change that. You are an inspiration!
