Dream Sketches-Gift Idea

My friend Debbi, she is an amazing person I met through SCS!

She always says she loves my sketches 😀

So, when deciding to send her some HAPPY MAIL-I made her this accordion book. I think this is a great idea for any stamper or scrapper! Inside is filled with my very own personal sketches for her to use 😀

I hand drew each one-now that was time consuming. I actually made them all with my PAINT program but it didn’t save!!!!!!!!!! Holy want to kill your computer! I was so upset. It took hours to make them all that way too. I need to find a better way in the future :C It would be great to have handy for making more albums as gifts. Just print, cut, paste, and go! Unfourtunately I have NO ambition to try it again, anytime soon

Of course these are to be use ONLY for personal stuff-not submissions or anything like that.

I hope Debbi likes it, and it inspire’s her to stamp MORE.

I found this album at Michaels-its by Me & My Big Ideas. I LOVED the pattern on the front cover-cause it meant I could focus on the INSIDE! I hoped they had it in purple-since we share that as our favorite color. Oh well. I wasn’t about to cover it up. It was pretty as it is.

For the front, all I did was use my Nestabilities-rectangles, for the layer, then stamped this sentiment by CTMH from the Follow Your Dreams set in Tempting Turquoise. LOVE the sentiment. I found it suited the purpose of the book-perfectly.

Added some DELICIOUS velvet Prima’s, that AmyR sent me like LAST year! I also added a BUTTERFLY Heidi Swap ghost shape in the corner, covered with Stickles, in artic ice.

I love how it just ties closed. I also loved that I could focus on the sketches, and kept the front SIMPLE.
