Dustins Baby Book

Will it's almost a year and I'm FINALLY getting our Grandbabys' PaperBag Book finished.....
If you've never made one don't think bad of me... I'm not big on Albums and thought this Paper Bag Book would be a snap... Boy was I wrong... more work that I though for sure, but think it turned out pretty good.  You be the judge and let me know.
For thouse of you that have never see one here's a couple of before pics;

This is the front or back which ever you decide to make it....... When I bought my bag Albums I got 3-white and 3-craft colored ones... and this is the FIRST one I've used in..... 2--maybe 3 years...

And this is an inside shot, it you look close or double click you will see in the middle it comes sewned... Thank God.

Ok... Here's a look at what I did with this.

This is the front cover and the card too....

The inside cover has a pull up and then the first page of the bag on the left.

Page 2 is the bottom of the bag that creates a pocked, I made a card to wright on to tuck in there.

Page 3 is the top of the bag to the right so I made a pull out to got in there...

Page 4 and 5...

Page 6 another pocked and page 7 with pull out....

Page 8 pull out, page 9 pocke has 2 tags that you can wright on the backs of...

Page 10, and page 11 with a pull out....

Page 12 with pull out, and then that back cover and a pocked and the tag inside will say from GrandPaw and GrandMaw...

and this is the back cover....

I just used old cardboard I had and cover with paper... and that's it....

I know it dosn't look like it should have taken a year... but I was doing other things too... and this thing really had me going... but I just had to get it finished for his Birthday...

My Goodness... I'm with Worst GrandMaw ever.....

Mornin'
Today I needed a BD card for a younglady... and this is what I made....

I've had this stamp set by Flourish's for some time now but had never used it,,, will when I saw it agin I just had to give it a try.   I stamped it on Watercolor paper and did my coloring with Memento's markers.. this was an all first for me the stamp set and using just the markers to color with... but I do like the result and think I'll be trying it again...

and this is the inside.... I kept it simple too...

Will that's it for me today... hope you are all enjoying the weather it's been just beautiful here in Fl the last few days not to hot in the morning and not to stickey durning the day.... I know it won't last but it's been a nice brack in the HEAT for us...

Tea House

Hi All,,,
Today I'm showing my first Tea House in quite awhile... A few years back I must have made a dozen or more and just could not stand the though of making another one.... Will I got asked by a very nice lady (my Mom ) if I would make a few for her to give as gifts to her lady friends... Now you know I could not say no to her. So here I am in the Tea House business again....

this is the front view.....

 and this is a close up of the tea pot on the front both the pot and the fancy tag are popped up, not sure if it shows in this pic....

here's the back with the lid open so you can see how it's done up....

and the front with the top open so you can see the inside too....

All we have to do is load it with tea bags now.

Only have 2 more to make, so better get cracking I guess....

I frog-got

Hi There,
The last couple of days I've been working on a few belated BD cards.... I used the same stamp, just colored them differently and used some of the same paper and some different paper for the two cards....
First here's a quick look at them both.....

 Now here's the first one I made.......is he not just sexy looking.... in is green with yellow spots and teal belly.... just love thoes eyes.....

 and this is the inside.......

Now this little cutie was just the color of a little girl frog to me....don't ask me why......So I used pinks and reds, and a bow too for a more girly look.... this pic looks a little washed out but it's really much brighter.

and the inside.......

That's it for me today...
See you next time !!!!
