I have more pages to add to this post (these are the last pages) but have to get to the post office asap.... so please look again later if you have time and want to see the whole project!!
Hope you can see how this works, I've made a big concertina card with pockets and then added a couple of large tags for photo's, this slides inside the pocket of the page in the book so its in the book but can be taken out, did it this way instead of fixing it into the book for a change!!

bear in mind this post should have been after the one below, IYKWIM
this is just a quick pic of the box which I forgot to cut down to the right size so its huge! and book finished with the ribbons, which I nearly forgot AGAIN!! ok, no more pictures!

Yes I know! ANOTHER name book I hear you cry, but the people like em so I do em! I like doing them cos I know what I'm doing for once so that gives me the option to change how I make them and personalise them, well thats my theory anyway!! so I won't bore you with pictures of all the pages, the lady who requested it loved it so thats good enough for me!!

seen this before?? yes you have, I had to make this card really quick cos I didnt realise it was Hayleys birthday the following day, I had big plans for this card and it all went pear shaped due to the setting fire to the kitchen escapade... oops! so had to make something that was ok but not too complicated, I liked the pink one I did of this so thought I'd do it in blue, didnt pick the best background as it doesnt show the colour i've put on the drawing but its better in real life....

A card for Suzi, her friend Clare has just become a grandmother so something a little different for her to send her, hope she likes it, my mojo has not returned so this is quite good for me as it had to be quick, will change the envelopes inside (for pictures of baby Lola) as they're not the right pink for this card!!

Oh dear, its all gone horribly wrong again, not sure where this one was going either, not very good at non cricut cards, this was inspired by the picture of a spanish lady, as its for a spanish lady I thought it was nice, did the background in MCS and then added the swirls etc but it hasnt jelled, oh well hope she likes it anyway!!

a card for Roses birthday, its only 4 days late.. sorry Rose :0( the pink rose is tarted up a bit and decoupaged, this is from the new MCS cd purchased with my friend Eleanor, tried to keep it a little more simple! hope she likes it when she gets it :0)

did these vouchers and cards for a friend who has her own driving school, seemed like a good idea at the time :0)

Is this the most gorguss doggie in the world..... YES,
ok I know., your dogs are gorguss too but Tilly is fandabbydozy even if she has nicked my chair, she never moans about the mess in this room, she reckons all my cards are great and loves me to bits..... hang on a tic, I think she's just agreeing with my wonderful hubby :0)

I've fallen in love with this wierd floral die so as its a friends birthday next week I thought I'd use it for the card, I decided to go with browns and found this peice of brown dotty acetate, some brown beads and me fav die, hope she likes it, the insert turned out the wrong colour, ah well, it wouldnt do to get it right for a change would it, I'm trying to make my cards simpler and quicker, its worked on this one, only took me a several hours tee hee

I liked this card in the end but it took some doing, I mucked it up that many times you wouldn't believe! I know its just a simple card but I have done it in SCAL and MCS but the printing is done on SCAL!! I enjoyed playing around with the two programmes to see what I could acheive with them to produce a card, I love that image, oh and the random flower is to cover up a blob of ink that flew out of the mica squirty bottle thing, another 'happy accident' except I wasnt very happy :0)
the insert:

A name book for Charley, I know..... you 've seen it all before and I must admit I'm getting a bit tired of them too, will have to think of something else I can do!

Tilly decided to take the blanket out of her bed and put it on the chair as a cushion, she's not as daft as I thought she was :0)
I made this for my friend Teresa, she loves a bit of bling.... but again its one of those cards I made when I'm really not sure where I was going with it, I should stick to my cricut cards they seem to be a bit better!! I remember now.... I wanted to use this gorguss very expensive ribbon, thats what started it... its really lovely ribbon

another card for Suzi, she wanted a christmas card that wasnt all christmassy so did christmas colours but not too many Merry this and Happy thats, hope she likes it

My friend Eleanor and I made a card like this the other day and she liked it so much we made another one for one of her friends in Cyprus, obviously his name is Aristos, if I'd been really clever I'd have written his name in Greek, I was born there but don't speak the lingo!

This is another card for Suzi, she loves fairies, flutterbys and all things beautiful, so there are quite a few flutterbys on this card, it didnt turn out as nice as I thought it would but its not too bad, I used an earing as the fairy suspended from the ribbon, waste not want not! and I also put lovely pastel skeleton leaves on to enhance her wings, I hope she likes it, its for her sister who is very ill in hospital, I've also written a poem for her but thats private of course........

This is a record for me, making 3 cards in one week, I know they're nothing special and easy to do but still............ these are cards for me lovely Suzi again, she's having a very rough time of it with one thing and another! I like to think the house cards are improving but I forget how I did it each time so probably not! the pictures arent very good colours and I seem to be going through a brown phase at the moment, hope it passes soon its not very exciting is it!
the fairy card looked like a good idea but it just will not stand up so won't be doing that one again, ooeer, I felt a bit of dejavu then so maybe I've already posted the fairy card.... have to have a gander! sorry if I did :0)

this house card looks just like the previous one so obviously NOT improving after all :0)

Had a gander and I havent posted it before!

ok, so I've had a revamp of the blog... does it look better? I think so, I don't like brown so don't know why I had a brown background for so long, this is much more girly :0) got a couple of cards to make so will post a couple of pics if they turn out reasonable enough to do so! OMG I've just looked at the pics of Ellies book and realised my huge mistake..... NO RIBBONS ON THE RING BINDERS..... ARGHH!!!

This name book is a very special one for me, I made it for a girl I used to work with, she called her little girl Eleanor but will call her Ellie so this is my little book for Ellie, I havent put any pics in, left that for mummy and daddy to do, I've tried to incorporate lots of pages, books and spaces for photo's, what makes this book special is that when I took this round to my friend Sam (mummy), I met her hubby for the first time and he very sadly died the next day of a massive heart attack, to say we're all devasted is an understatement! so this book is dedicated to Ellies daddy Eric, so very very sad........

to the lady who left me a comment this morning, Thank you for your comment, I'm well chuffed you like some of my work :0) Sandie x
