Still pouring wet in Sunny SA!! Let's warm the air with some crafting fun! I'm here to show what I made for my mother's birthday. They downscaled a bit more than a year ago and now there is no room for clutter in their flat. Still, mum wants to keep letters, pictures and info on her children, grandchildren, garden and home.
So, I came up with this Multimedia A5 covered file:
I used some calico, painted it with fabric dye and then added stamping, ribbon and embellishments from my stash. And this is what the file looks like from the back:
Imagine all that smiling peeping at you from your bookcase! I even made divider pages for the inside:
And some close-up pictures:
I love how my project turned out and best of all - I didn't buy a single thing! Most of the stamps came from different MME sets and the dies used to cut the fabric are from Spellbinders.
That's it from me. I hope you enjoyed seeing my mum's birthday gift as much as I did making it. I think I'll do one for myself as well. Thanks for visiting my blog today. Please come back to play as I'll be back with some more crafting fun. Have a Terrific Tuesday!
We've had tons of rain lately, too. What a great project and I just know your Mom has to be thrilled to have such a talented daughter!
