Last two sections

These are the last 2 accordian pages in the accordian book. I think I will decorate the inside cover with a picture, but I have to figure out what. I am going to put some embellishments on the last page. So, I'll take another photo. I LOVE that paper too, wish I could find more.

Inside pages to Las Vegas Book

I have finished most of the pages of my Las Vegas Stamping Sisters mini accordian book. I haven't glued it into the cover at this point, but I wanted to post some pictures of what I've been doing so far.


This is the first page, I printed the title from Word onto cream colored cardstock. Then used TimHoltz's ink pad to soften up the color a bit. I drew the swirlies, then cut out of cardstock. And then punched the round dots with a round hole punch.

The papers on all the books might be a bit different, cause it depends on what I have left by the time I get to book 5. LOL I found the cool cherry paper from a store in Tracy that isn't there anymore. Love the pink theme to the book so far.

But then, I had to find something with a little blue in it because the photos at the nugget's fish tank were blue. So I found this poker chip paper, and thought it would be good. :) And the next set of photos are from the Las Vegas Experience on Fremont street.

The flip side has 2 double layouts. I'll post those tomorrow.

Las Vegas Books

So, with my time off I've started on my Las Vegas books for my friends. We took a trip to Las Vegas in October, and I haven't had the chance to do anything till now.

These books are from Petaloo. They are accordian books. The cover is made of cardboard that was covered in pink paper. Of course I couldn't just leave the paper pink. I found this really great patterned paper that is a photo of the strip. I cut the bottom portion off and used it for the flap.

I used one of Tim Holtz's ink pads to "antique the edges, then used clear glitter to edge the book, cause it just needed some glitz.

The book has a magnetic closure, so it just pops closed.

Before the trip I had found the Las Vegas Poker chips that I was going to alter for something else. But I thought they would make a great accent on the book. The dice are from Joleen's.

I'll post photos of the pages as I get them done.

It feels so good to create!
