I'm hoping everyone has had a wonderful Christmas & Boxing Day. I had lunch with my best friend from work, & her partner, yesterday & today, cooked myself a beef joint & all the trimmings. I have been crafting all day trying to complete a mazebook for someone else for a birthday on 2nd Jan. I have the TMTA to do & saw that this weeks' Wednesday Stamper was an open theme. So I will share this that I made earlier in the month.
Below are three pictures of a mazebook I made for my very dear friend, Joy for her Christmas gift. I wanted her to have something handcrafted & pretty. Something just for her. Normally people end up with practical presents or edible presents or smellies. So I made a minature stamping delight of Little girls & Butterflies.
For anyone who would like to see pictures of the full book, I have put a slide show over on my Gallery blog, the link is in the sidebar.
Santa came & brought me a Bind It All, which is not out of the box yet. I have to complete a few projects first before beginning something new!!This post is edited as I forgot to list the materials I used!!
Covers are Dovecraft designer paper, main book made with one sheet of doublesided new papermania sheet, Lilac Dragonfly. Stamps, Crafty Individuals (naturally), One from Stampshappen & Design Objectives corner stamps. Also used some rose printed vellum for some of the quotes.
wonderful peace of art!
