Domino Book Swap

It's a challenge to create a book in miniature form, and these are amazing little wonders of art! Mary designed her little book around an ocean theme. You can almost hear the waves rolling in and smell that salty air.

 

 

Doris found some giant dominoes to work with and that cover just hints that there are secrets inside! Secret places around the world, that is. Who's ready to pack their bag for some traveling?

 

 

 

Fran's book is a voyage to the Rennaissance through the eyes of Vangeline. In this book, all that glitters is gold! Just delightful.

 

 

 

Maura chose the Steampunk route for her book, and made it fold like an accordion. One side is male and the other female.

 

 

Thank you ladies for joining me on this creative venture. Fran, I should have the mailbox shoveled out tomorrow to mail yours out, and Doris and Mary, I will give you yours when next I see you.

Happy New Year to all of you, and may it be a creative year for all!

Wrapping up Tim's 2012 Year of Tags

A wrap up ;with Tim's tags for November/December and January 


 
A reminder from Tim: since this is december and many of you might still be scrambling for card making ideas, i thought i would remind you how simple it is to just adhere the tags you create right on to the front of a card. so let’s get started on our last tags of 2012…
