Inspired by a book

Good Morning,

It’s Thursday and time for a new challenge over at CRAFT Challenge.

Our theme for this week is

‘Inspired by a Book’

We have three fabulous sponsors this week

All Dressed Up     The Paper Shelter   and The Cutting Cafe

For my DT projects this week  

Inspired by 'The New Baby by Mercer Mayer'.... 

I  used the 'Book Box Set' to create a box for a mini album for my eldest daughter's baby shower. She is expecting her first baby - a boy at the end of June.

(using 'BOOK BOX TEMPLATE - TEMPLATE AND CUTTING FILE' by The Cutting Cafe)

The papers are from Katie Pertiet's  Paper set  - 'My Baby Boy' - here
The dies are all Marianne dies.

Ribbon and magent for the box closure are from my stash.

A Duck shaped Card Invite Set  from the Cutting Café to create a baby shower card and favour boxes.

I resized the pattern on my Silhouette machine to make the smaller ducks and then created a tray to fit between the two ‘ducks’.

The ribbon and dummy are from my stash.

The theme as always is Anything Goes with the optional twist – Create a Masculine Card

Sami Stamps

I used her gorgeous stamp Little Foxes to create a card for my brother’s birthday. He is into wild life photography so I thought this image is perfect for him.

As always the image is coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.

The papers are from LU digitals – Nature digital papers

The mini pine cones were collected on a walk ages ago.

The leaves were created using a digital punch in Craft Artist 2 and then fussy cut.

Well, I have created my first canvas.
