Or. Slower than Molasses. Whichever charming verb-age I chose to use, it still chalks up to one thing. The final answer is? Yes. I'm. Slow. Yes, craft wise, I'm the equivalent to the "Pokey Puppy". But I just get so caught up in the details? Perfectionist? Perhaps. But I prefer Pokey. And that's not rushing to judgment, just ask Tee or Sis. They'll confirm.
If you recall this post from last October, then you know I LOVE to make little mini albums. It truly is my passion. Truly. If I could make enough off of them, they would be great. But with the aforementioned problem above, yeah, I think there are children in third world countries making more than me by the time I finish one of these things. LOL. And I'm not complaining. I enjoy getting caught up in the "process". That is part of the creative fun for me.
Well, enough tongue waggin, now some braggin!
OK. I'm sorry. But I LOVE this. Even thought I made it myself. LOL. I wanted to do a Halloween book for older kidlets. I fell in love with this scrap paper and just wanted it to be the main focus of the cover page. Bones, graveyard...get it? They bony hands are glued on. Hands are from Dollar Tree.
With the exception of three pages of the Fancy Pants, the remaining papers are left over from last year OR out of the dollar bin at Target. Some of the pages I've left very simple, cause I like clean lines and the other is, I really want the beauty of the paper to show off. Like the page on the left.
This really became a fun, little decorated book, as some pages only had room for journaling. On the pages above, the tag is removable, so that journaling or photo's can go on the other side. The pumpkin is a piece of chipboard.
It flips over so that you can journal on the back. The page on the right, the tag pulls out of the bottom, for more journaling.
Again, I used allot of things from last year. The word "Boo" was from the dollar bin at Target too. It flips over to reveal the page underneath.
And the photo can be inserted under the journaling tag as well.
Again, another journal tag on top of a page for pics. And hey, it's all about the candy.
And the last page, was the top half of that gorgeous piece of Fancy Pants paper. I think it is just so pretty that it stands well on it's own.
So there ya have. And even though it took a weeeeee bit longer than what I had hoped, well, I was happy with it. Now, I'm going to start on one for the "younger set". Thanks for taking a peep.
Happy Monday.
PS...only 18 more to do....I DON'T think I'm going to make it. LOL.
