Welcome

I love answering your questions. If you ask them in the comment section, I have no way to answer you (if you haven't heard from me, that is why). If you use the "EMAIL ME" in the left column of this page, I will be able to respond to you. You can also use it if you want to be added to my newsletter. Laura

Bookmarks

When I was working on the Springtime in Paris altered book in the previous post, I decided to make some bookmarks.  I started by cutting out the bookmark shape in heavy chipboard.
To frame the Eiffel Tower I cut apart a black doily frame and use Gilders Paste to accent the raised areas.

Just like I do with my ATCs, I went off the edge of the bookmark with the image of the Victorian lady.
The fringe at the bottom is black tulle.  On the Dresden banner I applied a piece of the French Floral Overlays Collage Sheet printed on vellum.  You’ll be seeing a lot more pieces from me using that collage sheet in all kinds of different ways.

These are just wonderful. Even though I read with my I-pad, I would place them in 'special' coffee table books. Very creative!

Do you think you will actually use them, Laura? They are precious -- almost too pretty to use!

Hugs,

You are so creative with these - and SO BRAVE! It would have been very difficult for me to cut the Black Dresden Doily Frame into pieces to utilize it! Stepping out of that comfort zone! Where, oh where did you obtain the bike Dresden? I REALLY NEED that to make something for my hubby!!!
