Book..... for Layers Of Colour (Now Edited !)

Edit......
Here is the final front cover (above) with the flowers, and the borders of the image, watercoloured ...now I can put it to bed and move on ....I think....!






Here is my new book...made for the Layers of Colour challenge this week which is...."Book" !
Its been quite a journey making this as the first version went in the bin and this one was pulled apart and re-made !.....anyway...here it is ...just about in time too...!
The words were stamped on canvas strips and the "stitches" made with a cd marker pen.
The image is courtesy of "The Graphics Fairy"
I made the white circles around the heads by stamping with the metal embellishment which is now on the book front.
The pages inside are plain... ready to be scrapped...although I have put floral paper on the pages.
Well after all that ..I hope you like it... Lol !

Dans Ma Maison...and Rosies "Sunday Share"

Rosie at " alteredartandstuff " has designed a brilliant background paper and has offered it as a free download...thanks Rosie ! (More...more...)
It inspired me to make an entry for "Dans Ma Maison il y a..." which this week is "schoolkid"
I stood the schoolmaster between the 5 and 6 because its usually between ages 5 and 6 that our little ones start school.
Fortunately school isn't quite as grim these days ...Lol !

You can link to Rosie's "Sunday Share" from "Some Real Favs" on the right of my blog ....let Rosie know what you've made and you could win some blog candy !

"Pretty in Pink"...Gothic Arch

Well this is a first for me as I haven't made an arch before.
The theme is "Pretty in Pink" over at "Gothic Arches" new site (see "My Real Favs" )...and although my lady is'nt dressed in pink she's certainly surrounded by pink !

Hope you like this one !

Transport.....?

This is my piece for "Rainbow Lady's" challege which this week is "transport"
I must say this pic took me back to my childhood (what a good memory...Lol) when we used to make little carts out of boxes and pram wheels. It wasn't until we were bombing it halfway down a hill that we remembered we were supposed to have a brake !
Happy Days.....!

Hope you like it !

"Vintage" Accordion Book..."children"

I have made this book based on a 12"x12" sheet of scrapbook paper folded in half and then accordion pleated.
I would like to enter it in the "Layers of Colour" challenge(children)
and the "Artygirlz" challenge (vintage)
Its a while since I made a book so I hope you like it !

The words on the tag in the first pocket say.....
"Children come into the world with fresh eyes
to see all that is beautiful,
embrace all that is joyful,
and love unconditionally
with open hearts and minds."
