❤️ Reveal . . . follow your passion

❤️ Hi everyone,

what a hectic week it has been . . . Friday at last and hopefully a more peaceful weekend!!

I have been crafting but not had time for taking pictures sooooo

I would like to share my altered art project for eclectic Paperie from last weeks sneaky peek for 

 Friends with Flair over on the Unity Stamp Company blog.

and my inspiration came from . . .

Art and Possibility {Donna Downey} by Unity stamp company

along with the beautiful

Lily bee Design - 6x6 Persnickety Papers

for the inserts

Chipboard Coasters

and a little

Tando Creative Mini House Printer tray.

 Love the Persnickety papers, so bright and bold.

So I started to stamp the sentiments, chop them up and pop them in place along with a few bits and bobs.

I was almost finished the tray when 

I  had one of those . . .

Light Bulb moments!

 The printers tray was telling me . . . yes telling me . . .
" Please I want to be the cover on a book, a cover, a cover "
Who am I to argue, lol . . .so I looked around my shed and came up with some old cardboard packaging, drew around the tray, cut it out, splodged some Gesso over it, distressed, stamped and voila a backcover was born!

 What was I going to use for inserts I thought, scratching my head . . . whoop,whoop I remembered Kim sent me some square coasters in my design team parcel, thank you Kim!
Plus I also had 3 canvas inserts that came with a Maya Road canvas album, love touchy feelly books.

  This is the inside of the printers tray with another beautiful sentiment and scraps of Persnickety papers.

 The canvas insert, stamped, distressed with Tim Holtz Distress ink pads and Stains,a Prima Linen Burlap Rose and Maya road Vintage leaf pin sitting alongside a scrap of metal.

As you can see the coasters and canvas sit snugly inbetween the covers after being punched with my trusty Crop O Dile and I am looking forward to showing more pages as time goes on.
Just remember
do what makes you happy
make art everyday
paint your dreams
be Bold.
be true.
 inspiration is everywhere
follow your passion
