It is time again for a challenge at Creative Artistes. The challenge this month is anything goes and I created a mini book for my neighbours birthday. The theme of the book is happy birthday and aging advice from those crazy birds. The mini album took quite a few days to make but was fun coming up wit the ideas.
Here is the front of my book.
I had fun designing the front cover, adding the bicycle and legs for the bird. I used several different products to colour the birds including Copics, metallic markers and watercolour crayons. Some of the hats are from the collection of Tim Holtz and some of the hats are from parts of digital images and rubber stamps. Some of the ideas for the pages were completely my original ideas but some were inspired by Pinterest and other stamps that I had.
Inside cover
There are 6 sections to the book. Each section contains 3 or four areas to create on plus a tag. Lots of creative real estate here. One of my dear crafting friends Marta, taught me how to put the book together and I decorated it. The pattern can be found on
Laura Denison's blog here.
