Downrightcrafty: Book Folding

Good morning to you all

It's a new challenge over at

Crafty Ribbons

and the theme is

Anything Goes
with ribbon

I decided to go a little vintage again and tried out my first ever book folding. I made this for a birthday present, I just now need to figure out how to present it.

I first off located my book and then obtained the pattern, before spending a week relaxing and folding, in the sun. I decorated the back of the book in decoupage papers as it was a little unsightly before adding some flowers with brad centres and of course the lovely worded ribbon from Crafty Ribbons

The ribbon is from this gorgeous range

you can find them here

I would like to say hello and thank you to all of my visitors, I will be hopping over shortly.

I would like to enter the following challenges

Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes

Shopping our Stash - Distress

Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Artistic Inspiration - Anything Goes

Crafting from the Heart - Anything Goes

Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes

Not Just Cards - Anything Goes

Decorate to Celebrate - Anything Party related decorated

The paper shelter - Anything Goes

Simon Says - Sparkle and Shine (used guilding wax on the leaves of the book and glitter on the flowers just not showing that well)

Have a great day

Kate

Your friend will love this
