Loves Rubberstamps - Sensational Sunday Inspirations

Hello Friends!

I hope you are having a great weekend and the beginning of your year has started off well.  I am back today with a Sensational Sunday Inspiration post for  Loves Rubberstamps Store.  She has such great images to play with!  I must admit that I actually started this project as a gift for a special friend.  After working a few days on it, I could not part with it.  I know, not very nice of me, but this was my first frilly, girly thing I had made. I have become attached.

So let's get to it!  I made a Multi Pocket Envelope album.  I got the directions from The Paper Trail on how to assemble the envelopes.  I made six pages total, using 15 envelopes.  We will get to the inside in a bit.  First, let's take a look at the outside of the book.  I used chipboard for the covers to make it a bit sturdier.  All paper used in the album is My Mind's Eye, Lost and Found.  The image, Painter Meg, by Mo Manning is stamped with Memento, Tuxedo Black ink  and is colored with copics.  I finished embellishing the front with white trim and a Tim Holtz embellishment, "Live the life you've imagined"  The book was bound with a Bind it All.

Copics used:

Paint Bucket:  C0, C1, C3, C5

Paint:  B00, B01, B02

Boots:  W0, W1 W3

Pants:  E41 E43, E44, E47

Shirt:  B00, B01, B02, W0, W2

Hair:  E29, E35, E39

Brush:  B02, W00, W1, W3, C3, C5

Skin:  E000, E00, E11

Here are some pictures of the inside of the book.  You can see there are several places for tags and fun embellishments in this book of fun.  I used Spellbinders Labels 10, 20, 21, 25 dies to cut out many of the tags.  The tags are all embellished with miscellaneous flowers, trims, buttons, twine, brads, laces etc.      I used Tim Holtz Distress inks to add more to each tag.  Some of the tags are also stamped with flourish stamps around the edges to add more visual effects to each tag.  

I have included a picture of all the pages, so please excuse the picture heavy post.

I hope my post today has inspired you to create!  I had so much fun with this project.
