Fairy Tales

Posted on April 8, 2010 | 8 comments

I got to help out my friend Tami Mayberry with her new set from Gina K Designs this month. Hard job. hehe… NOT!!!! That means I also get to participate in the Illustrator Blog Hop Challenge this month as a Special Guest Designer for Tami. Fun stuff! You can see what the Gina K Designs team came up with by checking the participant list on Tami’s Blog.

The challenge:
Choose your favorite children’s book and make a card or other paper crafted item inspired by the book.

I chose a Kermit the Frog book (my son Bobby loved Kermit!). We actually had quite a few of the Kermit books, I always got a kick out of them too.

So Frog book = Frog card!

Here’s a closer look:

Supplies:
Stamps: Gina K Designs (Fairytales, Special Delivery)
Papers: Couture Cardstock
Ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black), Ranger Distress (Brushed Corduroy)
Copic markers, sponge, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ (E-Z Runner, 3D Foam Squares)

This week’s challenge is Anything But a Card!

I decided to make this baby themed notebook. I removed the front cover from a premade notebook (I think I found it at Target) by unwinding the wire and added my own front cover. Then I made new holes and threaded the spiral wire back in.

Here’s a closer look:
