Books

Good Morning All

John Next Door has set the new challenge for Sunday 24th, but it may be earlier as he has commitments, so keep watching.  I will show you what he has sent at the end of this post. A hint is 'books' this got me into what I have made here.
I saw these books on Youtube and I thought that it would be a great idea for storing my digis that I print off ready for colouring, and I can store them with a piece of paper reminding me which digis they are as  I always forget.





It is called an 'Envelope Book'





 You could add as many envelopes as you would like.  I used the front and back off a hardback novel.  John gets these from his work, as they throw old book aout that have not sold.   I covered it with Papermania Capsule papers and decorated it the Papermania flowers from the same collection.  I distressed the edges and made a fancy binding with me Spellbinders Edgabilities.
This is a view of the top showing how you stick the envelopes on a piece of card that has been scored and folded into 1cm mountain and valley folds.






I love it, and I am going to make some more to take to my 'DIL's for gifts when I go on my Hollie Days on Easter Sunday.
I have found out this week that I am going to be a Nanna again.  This time it is my son who lost his son in 2010.  He is settled with a new partner now and seems very happy, I am so pleased for him and I think he is ready for this now, it has obviously taken time and he has been through some very bad times.

Dont for get that my candy draw takes place on Sunday 24th March, this will give the winner time to get their address to me before I leave for the UK.

This is what John gave me for our challenge this week.    
Everything is blues/greys -  paper, card, ribbon, flowers, diecuts and strips of glittery card.

And an old novel. 

I have definately had to get my thinking cap on for this one.  I have completed one and thinking about the second one now.
