First Shaped album

I made this album for our 3 year old granddaughter Olivia. She has just had an operation and in is now in a hip spiker plaster. I wanted her to have pictures of the family to look at while she was in hospital. She is now home and taking the restraints of being all plastered up very well. She is pictured throughout the book and true to form the first thing she ate after her operation was toast. This is my first attempt at a shaped picture book. I chose Mickey as she had just spent a voucher before going into hospital buying Mickey to go with her Mini mouse.
There are three dogs in the family, that page was fun to do. I cut a westie in chipboard to make a book mark and also a doll. Once I had finished the book  I felt at a loss "what can I do now" I said to hubby,  his reply "housework" Oh horror I won't ask that one again LOL. I will now have to have fun making books for our other grandchildren

I used Design studio and Gypsy. The book is cut at 5.75 inches.
Cartridges used are
Plantin schoolbook, Accent essentials, Animal kingdom, Going places, New arrival, Everyday paper dolls, Create a critter, and of course Mickey and friends.

Owl day

I have always wanted to make a card using an owl, although I like the owl I'm not sure about the finished card. I'd wanted to leave empty space but now I want to fill it!
I used three different embossing folders and most of the cuts are pop dotted to create layers of the page.I made the card with my youngest son in mind, from a young age he has always liked owls and said he wanted a dog or an owl for Christmas last year, needless to say he didn't get either. lol Maybe his wife will get him one for his birthday, not so sure their cat would be very happy!

Create a critter Owl and branch cut twice at 2 inches. Every day paper dolls and Pooh and friends clouds. Indentz vine # 1, craft concepts woodgrain and cuttlebug D'vine swirls embossing folders.
