Have I said HAPPY NEW YEAR yet? LOL!
Well, I'm saying it again!
HAPPY 2015 MY FRIENDS!
It's a new year, a new month and time for a new Linky Party at the Crafty Secrets blog!
You will find with the new year, a few things will be changing over at Crafty Secrets!
ALL GOOD mind you!
For instance, if you hop over to the blog you will find a FREEBIE from the *new* Bedtime Kids Digital Set which is the set the design team is showcasing today! EVERYONE will get this one FREE image and the lucky winner of the Linky Party will win the ENTIRE SET!
So what are you waiting for???
Today the team is having a virtual Pajama Party showing images from this adorable set!
After much thought, I decided to create a 6-page Bedtime Booklet using a variety of images from this amazing set along with Crafty Secrets Pastel Chenille Quilt Digital Paper, Pink Chenille Quilt Digital Paper and Classic Damask Pink/Scene Digital Paper.
Let me first share my Bedtime Booklet with you then I'll share a couple (hopefully) helpful hints so you can create your very own Bedtime Booklet. So easy and such a sweet gift idea too!
HERE WE GO!
How cute is this!!!
NOW, here are a few ideas that help me when creating a project of this type.
- SAVE YOUR CEREAL BOXES!!
- USE A GOOD ALL PURPOSE (clear drying) GLUE
- GET YOURSELF AN INEXPENSIVE WALL PAPER SEAM WHEEL
- PRINT OFF VARIOUS CRAFTY SECRETS IMAGES/PAPERS
I use Microsoft Word to bring in my images and size them to what I need for my project. Positioning them on the page so I have room to cut around them. In this case I knew I wanted to do a LOT of FUSSY cutting so I wasn't too concerned with positioning.
This particular Oatmeal box came from the Warehouse Club so it is a heavier cardboard but worked great! With the size of the box panels, a 4x6 booklet worked out to be the best (most useful) size. That worked great with my digital papers too since I could get THREE cuts from each page.
By cutting my papers to the exact same size, I simply applied my glue to the back of each sheet then rolled over it with my wallpapering seam roller to be sure it had a good, secure adherence.
I chose not to add any additional embellishments to my Bedtime Booklet but you could have great fun 'blinging it up' with stars, moons, gems, ribbons ... endless possibilities.
