Welcome to our BBTB2-Challenge, Hosted this week by Donna Mundinger-"The Magnificent", her choice is the bee from the Cricut Cartridge "Sentimentals". Please visit all our designers this week for not only great projects but fun fun Blog Candy.
I truly am having a hard time believing I have not posted in a week, oh my goodness. It has been very busy in this little piece of real estate over the last month. I have completed over 275 bookmarks. When I do a large project (in this case a couple of large projects) of one particular item, I try to do a project totally different just to keep the energy and ideas flowing. I decided that our blog hop would be a great chance to switch gears and grab out some of my other tools. This is a 4" X 6" mini album. The covers are acrylic, sprayed with Copic Markers and the Copic Airbrush System. I cut the bee hive from "Sentimentals" but used the negative, this was adhered to the first page of the album not the cover. I then used the blackout for the bees cutting them in 2 sizes (a little smaller for the wings, which were cut from polka dots). I added metal corners, bound it with the Bind It All system and added misc. ribbon.
I sprayed the edges of the journal pages (which are index cards) again with the airbrush.
the photo on the right shows the album laying flat.For my blog candy I am offering this album, a fun place to keep notes, addresses, etc. All you have to do is sign up as a follower and leave a comment to this post. I will choose a winner using Random.org, April 30th at 6AM. Now please hop over to see the very very talented Marina Vasquez. Happy Monday, Hugs
