If you can stand it. LOL. Finally finished this. And I was quite pleased with the way it turned out.
I tried to cram (that would be the professional term) as much vintage things into this one as I could.
With a mix of new as well. It all started with 7 Gypsies stickers. Then I threw in some Cosmo Cricket, and a little of My Mind's Eye.
I wanted it to be a fun, sweet book on the "everyday" of life. Not the vaca moments, not the BIG moments...but the little, daily things.
This time I put in a lot of little weird quarter pages...fun to turn, fun to journal on.
I like the way the edges peek out or over.
And I put in lots of "clip on" pages too. Above is "with".
Here is "without".
With.
Without.
This is without its tags. I wanted a funky, little pocket, where a person could stuff photo's or memento's of some sort.
Here it is with the tags and stuff back in the little pocket. (Sorry, blurry - ugh).
Another "one-quarter page".
Again.
I liked this one with the overlay.
And a pocket.
My "artsy" pics always turn out crappy! LOL. I try and take from an interesting angle and it always seems to fall short. Oh well. Such is life. Hey...I could journal that in the book, if I was keeping it. LOL. And I loved the last page..."things my Mother never told Me" is what the sticker reads. But I had to add. "actually she did tell me, but I didn't listen"....LOL.
Well, thanks for looking. I'm tossing this little guy into my Etsy.
Happy Wednesday.
