Not a card, but a fun book today.

Hello Ladies,
This is my first post in quite awhile. I've been at my mom's house for the last 3 weeks and boy, do I miss her. Okay,okay I won't go there right now. Back on track. Yesterday I was in kind of a rut so I wanted to try and do something creative. I look over in my scrapbook area and see chipboard so I decided I wanted to make some kind of a book. This is what I came up with!!






I covered the chipboard with paper from the White out Collection. I've had it for a while and never did anything with it, but I must say it is so pretty! I then took Sticky Letters and added Orange Glitter from Doodle bug. I had this large Flower stamp from Technique Tuesdays. I stamped 3 petals on Neenah paper and colored them with copics and then place them on the cover. I pop dotted the center of the flower to give it some dimension. The bling was a circle frame, but I stuck it on the top right corner and cut it where I wanted it to be, then with the left over piece of bling I placed it going around the "Diary" part. Added a little pink flower and for the center of that I used a little pearl. I used my Crop-a-Dile to make the holes for the ring's to bind the book together and with coordinating ribbon It's done!

This is the inside of the book.On the orange cardstock I used Distress ink embossing ink pad on a swirl stamp. I placed the swirls all over in different directions to cover the whole piece of the cardstock. I then put a clear sparkle embossing powder on that and heat set with my heat gun.I love the way it turned out. It's so cute and girly. I hope that you guys have enjoyed and maybe you will go in your scrap area's and make something!!! :-) Be Creative..
