I saw one of these on the Spellbinders Booth at CHA in Anaheim and was determined to try this for myself.
I have to be honest and say it took a little while to do but I love the end result.
I loved the distressing and gold leaf work, it does you good to get your hands dirty once in a while.
Curling the pages, finding something to go inside the book and stringing some beads, metal button and some hessian to make a bow, a bit of die cutting and some punch craft.
Monday I got to browse the show and I have to say that the stands are amazing, just look at these displays from Spellbinders. I may need to get Stacey and her team to my house to organise a make over.
This is something that I will definitely be trying out.
Aren't they beautiful?
The one thing that I will say is that I could have spent all day just admiring their stand.
I totally fell in love with “A Guilded Life”
twinkles, sparkles, glitters, gold, diamonds, pearls, lace, what more could a girl need?
Close up alert.
One display after another and all a feast for the eyes.
And not forgetting the needlework crafters.
I’ve so much more to show you but thought this was a fabulous place to start.
I'm getting ready to pack the car and head off to Peterborough for tomorrow's shows starting at 9am all new gorgeous dies and it's the start of giveaways so be sure to tune in to Create and Craft TV.
I thought before setting off I would share a few more sneak peeks.
Sleigh bells ring are you listening?
Come Dasher, Come Dancer, Come Prancer, Come Vixen On Comet, On Cupid, On Donner, On Blitzen.
Hanging the tree.
In vintage style
See you tomorrow at 9am
I’ve been busy preparing for new Spellbinders Die-Lectables shows on Create and Craft starting Monday 18th August at 09:00. I have to say that with such gorgeous dies it has been a very easy task to prep. Even Chris has helped and I put him in charge of the Ebosser last night and he sat and cut out all night.
here are some sneak peeks to wet your appetite.
sweet as candy
Knock knock.
this one rings bells
Fa la la la la!
More to show you from yesterday's makes at Create and Craft.

I have my feet up to stop my ankles flaring up with pains again.
They are better than they were.
Before I go to get ready for the shows I wanted to show you the soldier statue which is in my village on loan, it is so gorgeous that the village is trying to raise the funds to buy it.
Just a couple of cards from yesterday's shows.
Firstly the template card, a very easy make with just a pheasant to decorate.
I'd love to see the card that you have made using my template.
This card was using one of the Spellbinders Corners and Accents.
Spellbinders Hedgehog die was using for this one.
At 12:00 today I’m in the Tool Shed with Dawn on Create and Craft TV,
I will be using a template of a 1/2 size Whiskey Bottle card and as Fathers Day is approaching I thought you might like it.

And this one for the single ribbon bow.
