So's arts and crafts

hello all, Here's my first experiment with hand bookbinding...under the watchful eye of my good friend Paula...:) Thanks for teaching me :) The covers are made of chipboard covered in gift wrap paper. The book contains 12 signatures sown together by hand. As the idea was to make a cookbook, on the first page I have drawn a sketch of a countryside  kitchen inspired from some card making toppers I have. The signatures are A5, and the cover is slightly larger. This cookbook is a very special gift for my best friend  :) representing the beginning of her new healthy life! :)

Hello, Let me show you one of my latest cards ... It was a special order for the first birthday of a sweet little boy. For this card I used some tissue paper (transferred on freezer paper to give it strength) as background, and one of the dozens of  Precious Moments images which can be found over the Internet as card topper. I colored the little boy in an airplane digi stamp, with Copic markers, and mounted it on the card with double sided foam sticky tape. To give the background an old card look, I used some aquarelle pencils and stamp ink on the edges. Card size: 10x15 cm

Hello, It's been some time since my last post...but this doesn't mean I haven't done anything. Stamperia  has some great wood mounted rubber stamps, which now can be bought in the hobby shops from Timisoara. Here's a  small card I made using my latest acquisition...:) So, the little girl is the stamp from Stamperia, colored with watercolor pencils. I also used some dies from Sizzix for the card blank and for the tag  I used as a background for the stamped image. With so many bright colors(maybe I've gone a bit overboard with it...:)) ) , it's impossible for Spring not to come...am I right?
