A new ongoing group project to share today - a book page for a Flip Flap memory book which I am making as a group craft swap every month.
All our books will be made out of the same 6 x 6 inch Kraft card base as a starting point and to use Dreamees products where possible.
The preference I had from my partner for the first page of our book page was pink and a rainbow for the cover if possible. As I didn't have any stamps or toppers or anything that I could adapt, I remembered a wonderful little fabrics & trimmings shop that I often like to browse around when I'm in the area and picked up this rainbow applique in one of their many baskets of goodies. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw it.
The pink satin ribbon will be used to fasten her book at the end. I've also sent my partner another piece of ribbon to attach when she has all the pieces of her book from her swap partners over the coming months so that it matches.
On the mdf dreamcatcher embellishment, I first coloured with a Dreamees dinky inky reinker in treasure and then topped up with gold gilding wax. For the feathers, I used mica powders.
On the reverse of my book page, I picked another set of pink papers to coordinate and chose a family tree theme, adding the sentiment:-
Family:- Where life begins & love never ends
Inside the die cut lacy heart which I folded, I added some stamped bunnies and another
sentiment.
"Behind you, all your memories,
Before you, all your dreams,
Around you, all who love you,
Within you all you need"
I had to add some ATC cards so chose one of my favourite digi stamps by Vera Lane Studios - Kokeshi dolls and for the other ATC I chose the Dreamees Cute Bun stamp as this was a Dreamees project.
For the hearts in my Family Tree, I used the centres from one of the Loops & Lace flower dies, which are really handy if you want little die-cut hearts.
Just in case extra hearts were needed to add to the family tree, I made a little envelope to tuck in the pot under the tree. The pot being a milk churn stamp that I cut in half.
I really enjoyed making this as I could pick it up and do a little bit at a time over the course of the month and this is the sort of thing I really enjoy anyway.
Everyone's pages will be different which is what is great about it too and I am already looking forward to the next one.
Have a great day, whatever you have planned.
Happy crafting
