Fashionista

Well, I am going through my stash and trying to get some pictures on here! One of my favourites is a little sewing form mini that I did for a good friend of mine. I used almost all Graphic 45 paper, but it was from several different lines including my fave, Fashionista. It was a fun book to put together as I had no photographs, only sentiments to write down.  This means I could decorate the pages without leaving 'white space' for photos. Not only was this easier, but it was very liberating as well. The reason I didn't need pictures is because I wrote and created the book for remembering what qualities I admired in her. A book to celebrate our friendship.


You can just see the measuring tape ribbon I used to tie up the gift.

A belt for the first page and a scarf for the next.

The heart is cut out allowing for a peek through to the first page.


Page 2: The back of the card I wrote on was already illustrated with the lovely little queen.



Page 3: Culinary delights with a hand cut apron and...

the pocket full of shopping essentials.


Page 4: Art

A beautiful filigree butterfly and a Japanese dress.

Underneath The Girl with the Pearl Earring, is another note.

Page 5: Sewing


Love those little scissors!


Page 6: Travel

Used a coloured sports wrap for a stylish evening wrap.


Page 7: Friendship


Just a little tag to say I did it. Only later did I think to make a fabric tag with this info, which would have been nice too!
