Vintage Book


At our weekly Crop at Craft Den, we weren't quite sure what to do, Lynne had got something planned, but as usual, I put my oar in and said "I'm going to make a vintage book". I chose some papers, K & Co Madeline, which I think are fantastic, really lend themselves to using them on something vintage. Everyone else decided that they too would like to make a vintage book, so started showing them how I proposed to do it. Here is a glimpse of the front cover, (still not finished - much more to put on yet) where I've made some paper roses. First time I've made them and I found them tricky, may have to practice more...We made some pages in acetate and wove ribbons through. We shall be making this book over the next couple of weeks, so if anyone is interested give Lynne a ring and come along and join us for a fun night. Who knows, you may be lucky and get some 'Happy Eggs'. Everything used on this book can be purchased at Craft Den.
