Club Scrap May Artist Team Challenge: Mash Up

Hello Crafters!

Here is the Club Scrap Artist Team for you with a challenge

to let the creativity flow. This month we were asked to create

a project, lay out or card with at least materials from 2 different

collections. This can be papers, stamps or embellishments. It all

starts at the Club Scrap Blog.

I hope you have arrived here from 

Jennifer's Blog and seen what her ideas where.

I put my thinking cap on and came up with these cute

little booklets for my grandson, who just loves to draw.

I went trough all my boxes and picked out some papers

that match nicely together. 

What do you need to make one booklet:

1x cardstock 5.5 x 8 inch

1x cardstock 5.5 x 3 inch

a piece of ribbon (aprox. 17 inch)

one button

some copy paper

needle and a piece of cotton or waxed linnen thread.

For my forst booklet I used a piece of Graffiti paper

and a button from the Sprinkles kit (PSL 2012).

I folded the cardstock in half and fastned the

button to the front of the booklet with a piece 

of raffia. Leaving the raffia on the button for

closing the book when finished.

Take the copy paper. I used 4 pieces and cut them to

5 1/4 x 7 3/4 inch. Fold it in half, punch some holes

in the center and sew these pages into the cardstock cover.

Now to cover the sewing and decorate the booklet,

take the piece of 5.5 x 3 inch and fold in half.

I used a piece of decorative Picknick paper. You can blue

it with tape of bookbinding glue.

Now glue the strip of cardstock to the booklet

and close the book with the raffia.

You can do a bow or tie it around.

Here are the 3 books I made before derorated.

You recognize the different papers?

For decoration I used the stamps from 

this months Adirondacks kit on the red banner.

On the middle booklet it is Creative Licence and National 

Parks stamps. On the last booklet you see the 

elephant and sentiment from the 2007 Serengeti kit.

You can see Owen loved the little booklets

and when he came from school I asked him which

one he liked best to start drwing in: of course

he picked the elephant. He loves wild animals.

Owen busy making his first drawing.

Here the inside with Owen's first drawing!

These mini booklets are super to take with you in your

purse with a small package of  pencils. This way you 

can draw everywhere.

And now over to

Pam's Blog

and see her inspiration.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
