Once Upon A Springtime Book

I believe this book is finished  :) 

I love this paper, but that's no surprise because I love paper, period!

If it's got fairies or flowers on it, that's a good thing   :)

I'm entering the book in the  Lets Get Shabby Challenge here:  http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com/2011/03/challenge-22.html

All the pages are chipboard covered with Once Upon A Spingtime paper by Graphics 45.  I used the Bind-It-All to bind it and added a bunch of ribbons, which I heated with the heat gun. 

The front and back covers use the front and back covers (over chipboard) of the small paper pad, thereby making good solid covers.  I made the dragonfly and the butterfly and added just a few stickles to the flowers, fairies and leaves.   

The flowers I made using various dies and punches, they all have stickles around the edges.

On the lower left there is a tiny round mirror.  You'll see another round and heart shaped mirror on a couple of other pages.  I used tape to put the ruffled ribbons on the pages.  

All the paper is from the set plus I used a bit of SU cardstock for the mats and CM lined paper for journaling.  There's a couple of buttons on this page. 

The mushrooms are a couple that I made using the same technique as the dragonfly--as seen on earlier posts with the wings.  I did a wee bit of sewing on the journal card. 

There are a few pearls on this big flower and pearls on the tag.

I love the sticky tape from Tim Holtz!  And there's the shamrock I made with the wire and crystal effects.   

I wrapped up some ribbon and stuck three little button brads to hold it together.  The butterfly here is one that I cut out and put crackle paint on. 

The little dots with the words are from the front cover of the paper pad.  I punched them out, stuck them on and put crystal effects on them.   

     

Thanks for looking,  I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did making it  :)
