I'm having fun LEARNING something new every day (or trying to find that!) These made from scratch mini scrap books have been quite a challenge to re-cReate, (following tutorials from Laura at Following the Paper Trail) but they are interesting, especially when it comes down to the details.
All the little elements put together to cReate the whole cover. Hand cut and stitched Silk flowers with warped edges from a lit tea candle and a pretty little pearl cradled in the middle of all that fluffiness, 1/4" scored one inch strips of crisp paper that when fanned with a little coaxing turn into lolly pop circle flowers, add a coordinating button on top for the center. Cute dangles of beads and charms and wire works make for something that swings unexpected when the book is picked up.
Clips hold tiny messages and butterflies and flowers look best with a little stickles of glitter glue on their wings and petals. And this is just the beginning of these cute mini scrap books... there is more when you open the first page...
