Tonight I have been a busy bee!!!

Well, I popped on here earlier to make a list of things I really really hoped to achieve tonight never dreaming that I would actually complete it. But I am a stubborn thing when I get my mind set on something so I sat at the table and refused to move until I had completed covers for my two new projects.

THIS IS WHY I SCRAPBOOK...
I am going to do this as a concertina-style mini book. I tried this technique once before and absolutely adored every minute of making the book.  As I am working from limited supplies (my main stash being in my poor little frozen Craft Retreat at the bottom of the garden) I have completed the cover but it still needs to be glued to mountboard to make it nice and sturdy.  I need to construct the concertina pages too but that is easy to do and I should get that done by Tuesday :0)

SIMPLE THINGS (from It's a Creative World)

As I have embarked on far more projects that are sanely possible (but I'm still going to try and do them all) I decided that this recent one that I read about today, would have to be a smaller style.  I decided to follow the theme closely and am using a very simple thing as the basis for a tag book - the humble loo roll!!!!!

I have made loo roll tag books before since reading about the idea in a mag.  They are fun to make and really lovely and tactile once completed!

Here is the cover.  The down side of this format is that the book gets REALLY bulky - hence the huge amount of string I have left on the binding!!

Well, thats it for me. I'm at my Crystal class tomorrow so no scrapping to me - at least until the evening ;0)
