Heavenlymam: My Fair Lady

This screamed Audrey Hepburn My Fair Lady soooo much I started singing ‘I feel Pretty’ now my singing aint pretty I will tell you lol.
So ideas popped into my head, now why do they do that especially since I didnt have what I needed to take them through to completion doh. Okies rethink make yer own paper bags hen, simples! So thats what I did.

Mini Album was born, and lo and behold my head said put in a mini at the back. Okies Wendy stop influencing me, Her response – ‘sure blame me’ rofl cgu pml. I do love that gal to bits. Well they do say crazies stick together hee hee.

I only used Authentique Classique Pretty paperpad with a wee bit of bazzil pink cardstock – well I would add another mini to the mix, which means I only had tiny scraps left over. Little cards methinks. No waste in this house. Can make tags for Christmas, or wee cards or or………….

I also used the Wink of Stella pens, oooh these are sooo pretty and elegant. You cannot see it really on the photographs but gives a beautiful shimmer. I also made some stickpins (of course) from my stash.

These are so fun to do.

Front of the mini.

Had some lovely pieces of paper after cutting up my papers so wanted to use them up. So a collage front was born. Added a few of the stickers, I put them onto cardstock (thanks Gwen – craftylady, who uses chipboard) for the idea, didnt want to chipboard them. Give's a lovely look to them. Added the Wink of Stella clear pen to the lady and the words sparkle. Love it. I also saw on the top of the papers a lovely sentiment so hauled that in.

Love the eclectiv look of it.

Inside of cover, decided I wanted some pearls, well it is My Fair Lady after all lol.

Prima pearly bling from stash.

used a belly band to insert the tag into

fold paper back to give two pockets one at the front and one behind it

did an elongated pocket so I could put a tag in the front and when opened can put a tag in the back

love the cut out.

did another fold back for two tags and made a pocket for a large tag

the other side of the pocket

made a tag holder with two of the pop outs – then a doh moment, its on the flap moffat, okies so added another cutout for the top to prevent it sliding out lol.

hmmm a wee theme is recurring here, fold back the paper to make two pockets lol.

lovely paper ideal for a journalling sport and pocket for large tag in the elongated pocket

Used Spellbinders A2 Curved Bordes One to make a pocket

I didnt elongate the flap but used magnets to secure it down.

used the magnets to secure the small side flap to the top flap

small flap opened, I do love the roses effect

added a longer side flap on the left

Had to get my Prima Bloom Cotton Candy spray in somewhere lol and also used a different die from the Used Spellbinders A2 Curved Bordes One to make a pocket

Other side:

Used Spellbinders A2 Curved Bordes One, makes fab pockets

Okies started to run out of larger pieces of paper so left these simple to apply pictures to.

cheated a wee bit and added some Bazzell cardstock to eek out matting for the top flap rofl

and this is where my brain went nuts – make another one to add to back chipboard piece sheesh brain. Made a chipboard pocket to ensure it would be safe.
