No...I'm not a fan either...but there was a window between us!! lol

♥ Basic Grey - Textures

The challenge over at Basic Grey this week is...Textures!
''For this weeks challenge we would like to see some texture on your creations, texture can be achieved is so many ways, but to name a few to give you some ideas, how about heat embossing, dry embossing, flock, felt, glitter, glossy accents, the list could go on...''......
I was in much need of a new 'notebook'. Just for scribbling down things that my little brain cell can't remember on it's own. The last one ( a fabby pressie from Shaz) is full and now has sheets of paper folded up inside which keep falling out! So a perfect time to make a new one. I should have taken a 'before' and 'after' photo but I was busily sticking paper to the cover before I remembered! Doh!
Anyway...it was a 'reduced to 98p', stripy, hard covered notebook with heaps of pages in it...so hopefully it'll last me a while! :0)Papers - Basic Grey - Sugared
Lettering - Basic Grey - Sugared
Inside covers - Basic Grey - Two Scoops (thanks Shaz x)
Edges - Krylon Gold pen
Image - Sugar Nellie - Gorjuss Girls (thanks Tina)

♥ CD Book...

I'm in the process of making a 'yummy' project with the brand new 'Feeling Fruity' Shabby style kit from Funky Fairy's... but wanted to share with you a project I made last month for the 'Shop Window'!! ^.^I made this from 2 OLD Cds and carefully cut the edge off so that the 'pages' would turn. I did this by putting a small piece of DST on the underside of the CD, to stop it from moving, and gently scored over and over against a ruler until the score was deep enough to snap the CD. I put the CD into a piece of kitchen roll (just in case it 'bit' my fingers!!) and aimed it away from me with the scored side facing down and bent it back until it snapped. Voila...a perfectly straight line :0) ...but you probably already knew that! :0
The holes were made with my trusty old Crop-o-dile...easy!

'Pages' - 2 CDs...with the edge cut off!
