Addicted to denim...

oo hoo!  Today, thanks a little bit to Amy Lynn, I finally finished my Learn Something New Everyday album.  I made the front cover before class started in September and then completed the final few pages in December.  In the last couple of days I finally posted up all my entries onto the forum but I couldn't do my completed album entry with bare chipboard could I?  Seeing Amy's post about her denim album reminded me of just how much I loved the effect I got on the front cover so I finished the rest of the covers this week.  I chose a back pocket to go on the back and put a shipping tag in which reads "See you next September!"  During my chopping, I ended up with a scrap of the waist band and decided to jazz up the spine with it so I could put ribbons through the belt loop.  Its held on with DST from my ATG but the gorgeous suede brad at the top helps too.  I painted the inside covers in denim blue as I didn't want the hassle of matching up the material again when it wouldn't be seen so much.  I am so pleased with it.  I genuinely don't feel great about a lot of my creations, either in their entirety or a small part of them, but this album cover really makes me happy :-))

I have since used denim on a layout and it looked great (see post before last) and Amy made a gorgeous ribbon ruffle with a thin strip of denim too.  I remember as part of my writing course, we had to use the prompt "blue".  Most people talked about the sky, the sea, eyes, or perhaps mood.  I went off on a tangent about jeans!  I really wanted to post that exercise up here but I cant seem to find it, ho hum....

Back to sorting photos ready for planning for the crop next week, 10am till 10pm!  Let's hope I dont have to come home to sort any blocked drains this time :-)

Bye for now xx
