Thinking Ahead...................Christmas!!

So I know many of us crafters have already started thinking, planning and making for Christmas items. If I mention it to anybody they think that I'm crazy but it's never too early to start, in fact I know some people never stop. Today I want to show you a Christmas Concertina Photo Book:

These make fab gifts or instead of a Christmas card, you can fill them with family photos and send it off. What a great surprise when it gets received. More personal than emailed attachments!!

I'm entering this book into the following challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge: N is Not a card

Creative Inspirations - Altered Art/Anything But A Card

Perfecto!

Totally Tilda - Anything But A Card

As always when I see one of those 'anything but a card challenges' I immediately thing book....book and here is one for the Totally Tilda Challenge. I was very lucky to pick up lots of these stamps from a car boot sale at such bargain prices - in fact I bought the lot! I've selected these three but don't know if they have names or titles as they came in clear bags. Hope you like it. Jeanette

Since having been at Upton House Craft Fair at Easter there has been an increase interest in the little photo books that I make, with an increase in enquiries I have decided to show my books here on my blog and I hope this doesn't bore some of you. I still intend to enter blog challenges and display some cards. Once the wedding & later reception is over I will be definitely looking into setting up a website, so any hints and tips would be much appreciated. So without any further waffling on, here are some books for those of you that I have emailed me. Jeanette

Concertina Book - Butterflies

I have been asked to make a butterfly photo book and here it is. I was lucky enough to have found this beautiful paper in the huge stash I bought last weekend, I've added a butterfly gromlet to the front, also MS punched butterflies with sparkly gem bodies on the inside pages and as luck would have it over at Flutter By Wednesday's the challenge is 'Anything but a Card'........perfecto! ( have been luck for a Friday 13th!) Jeanette

Concertina Book - Summer Flowers

Here's another book with those gorgeous papers I bought - the quality is so good and for those who may want to know they are AC Patterned Paper American Crafts and this set is called Blue Skies. As well as some great patterns and designs, some of the papers are glittered and varnished which gives the books a real quality feel. Hope you like them and stand by for more. Jeanette
