Well it's Wednesday again, honestly it comes around so quick. I haven't done much this week, just some fine tuning on a 3D project. It's far from finished, but I thought I would put it up anyway. This is what I love to do, I see things and of course I have to build it. The original design was a part of a class, but as usual I have to put my own twist on things (nothing like wanting to be different). I've also seen the original concept on the net, when I find it I'll post the link.
I get hooked up in these projects and usually have several on the go at one time. Sometimes I manage to put the wrong pieces together and love it when it turns out right, but that's not always the case. Yesterday the brain was scrambled, I was in design mode overdrive, poor Eliza put up with my ramblings while nursing a very painful arm. She's a sweetheart, love my girl, and we do have a lot of fun.
Sorry sidetracked, back to the task at hand. I constructed the covers and spines from book board joined with cardstock reinforced with tyvek. The entire folder is made from paper, no prefabs used. All the patterned paper is by Kaisercraft.
Well that's all I have for this week, hopefully I'll have this finished by next week or who knows, I might even give you a sneaky peek of the new project I'm working on or maybe not. You will have to watch this space....LOL In the meantime why not pop over to see Julia at the Stamping Ground, she is the creator of this fabulous blog hop. It's loads of fun, and you get to see the creativity of very talented people.
Hope you have a great week and Happy Crafting

Hey GF the album is looking fantastic, typical of you to put your own spin on things, it wouldn't be you without the spin. I so love these albums that you are creating, so full of little bits n bob, pockets, tags and cards. Talk soon hugs..........

Oh my word..it makes my teeth itch just to read that you do more than one thing at a time..oh the horror of sticking the wrong piece to the wrong piece..my word you are so laid back! You put me in mind of felow desker, Mary Anne..she takes an idea, runs with it, spins it into her own take and ta na! genius, just like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment... I doubt Eliza would agree with you about being laid back, in fact she would be rolling on the floor in fits of laughter...lol Have a great week.
DeleteGreat looking album. Peg #46

I laughed at your headline!! May your box never be too flippy flappy....actually, that sounds so wrong...!!! Sorry, being rude again ;-)
ReplyDeleteSeriously gorgeous colours and patterns, I really love it!
Hugs, LLJ 41 xx
Beautiful album, really pretty. I'm a measure 5 times, cut once but it's still wrong kind of person! Just can't get my head around construction stuff! Love the Kaisercraft paper, has to be of course, lol!

Ha ha nothing going on!! That folder looks like a lot has gone on...I love Eliza too and it was her chatting about you that brought me to your beautiful blog. Love your work, so detailed. Cx #25
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and papers you used. Is it an album or a box? It's very interesting, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog earlier and for the nice comments.
Happy Woyww,

Good question, still haven't what it's going to be. It has a box section to store 6 cards with envelopes, and then another section to store perhaps notelets or pad, perhaps a mini album. The majority of my interactive projects are forever changing, starting out as one thing and morph into another...I'm never bored... LOL
DeleteOh my - your project is lovely. Those colors and patterned papers are gorgeous. I hope you share the finished project. April #17
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful - well done. Those colours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

WOW DeDe. Your album is wonderful. Love your colors on your blog! Have a great week, Robin #76
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous- I envy you having more than one thing on the go, and getting them finished! I start something, get sidetracked by another idea, then end up with multiple Unfinished Objects, lol. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #36xxm
ReplyDeleteHi De De,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful friend you are! I imagine your "rambling" took Eliza's focus off her arm, for just a little while. Your album is just beautiful!!
Thank you for visiting me already. I'm slowly making it around.
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace, Kay (6)
Thanks Kay, Eliza and I have a great laugh, most of the time it's at each other..Have a good one.
