I'm working on a photo project for 2008.
I bought this Creative Imaginations Bare Elements set:
It's so sweet -- a large heavy-duty box with 12 small chipboard books. I'm going to use one book for each month of the year and fill it with our favorite pictures from that month.
So far, I have the outside cover for the box finished:
and hope to be finished with January's book this weekend. Lots of collaged Daisy D's Modern Romance papers, a few vintage wallpapers, Hambly overlay, my favorite flourish stamps (I have WAY too many of these) and a bit of gesso for good luck:-)...more to come.
You know, I bought these and mine just wanted to fall apart at the seams the second I opened them. I got frustrated and mailed them to a craftier friend. Yours are turning out so beautifully! WOW! I may try again. Very great job!

don't you love gesso...it is the best :o) This is beautiful and the papers all blend so well together. Love the overlay. Hope you share each book as they get done.
