Hi everyone! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. So happy to have you visit. A very special welcome to my new followers. Thank you for joining me on my creative journey.
So, the CCM Team are back from our break and it's time for a new Challenge. Jo is our host for this one and the Theme is Lots of Layers. As always, you can enter anything you like, a card, layout, off the page, whatever you wish as long as it follows the Theme.
Over the last few months, I have been busy creating a couple of mini albums and, as the cover of this album has lots of layers, thought it would be perfect as my DT contribution for this Challenge. I usually take my time creating my albums and only work on them in between other projects. This little book was created for my Granddaughter who turned 18 just recently. I am only showing the cover today and will share the book itself later on.
The papers used in this book are from the Darcelle A4 paper pad by Prima. I love these papers, they look pretty here but are even better in real life. There's actually 5 layers of paper on this cover, the first of which is the main base mat. It's mostly covered here but is very pretty.
You can see some book paper in between the dp and I added a cute little bow made with a new punch I purchased recently. A little difficult to make as it is so small, but really sweet.
Added a small cluster of Little Birdie Flowers ..
.. and created a faux Polaroid frame which I edged with some gold embossing.
The closure on this album is a ribbon bow which was simply threaded through an eyelet on the front and back cover..
I do love how this turned out. Hope you like it too.
For more inspiration, please pop over to the CCM blog and take a look at the fabulous creations by my Teamies. Would love it if you joined in with the Challenge.
Thank you so much for your visit and the lovely comments as well. I haven't done much crafting of late so I haven't posted as often and I also haven't done a lot of visiting either (I do apologise for that) so I'm especially grateful for your visits and comments. I'm hoping things will get back to normal soon.
Take care and God Bless.
