Mums Garden Book




Mum had asked me to make her a book to keep all the tags from her plants in. As the challenge over on My Time to Craft was 'Anything BUT a Card' I thought this fitted in nicely.
I used Kay & Co paper to cover the front and back of the book .
As you can see the pages are done in different colours
and each page has a pocket to slip the labels into and a space to right.
On the inside of the front cover I using a small transfer of a bird on flowers just to add interest.
On the outside of the cover I took inpiration from the Sketch on Sketch Saturday
The stamp is one of my Murray & Ethel ones coloured using pastal tria markers.
The mats are from the Quickutz paper pack whichis self adhesive
The flowers are Anita demenisional flowers which I brought yesterday.
Hope you like it
