Setting Sail

I was fortunate last night to attend a workshop given by local Dutch demonstrator Danielle Bennenk and spent a most enjoyable three hours in crafting companionship. Our project was a mini album using the Come Sail Away suite of products - how fortuitous was that? Full instructions and plenty of materials were provided to make and decorate the album, which I finished off at 'home' today.

Here's how my front cover turned out:

And on the inside are three parts for adding photos, ephemera and journalling. On the left a semi-pocket that opens up; in the middle three 'waterfall' flaps; and on the right, a small twist-and-pop surprise that I thought was brilliant.

Embellishments on the inside pages need to be kept reasonably flat, of course, to ensure nothing is damaged by bulky bits and bobs.

Materials used:

• stamps - Sailing Home
• card - whisper white, soft suede, Sahara sand, night of navy, balmy blue, Come Sail Away DSP
• inks - night of navy, soft suede, Sahara sand
• other - Big Shot, circle punches, bakers twine, metallic gold pearl, corner rounder punch, Dimensionals, fine tip glue, Tombow glue, Smooth Sailing dies

I love it and can't wait to furnish it with memories from our holiday here. Thanks so much to Danielle for a great evening - you can visit her blog HERE.

Thanks for sailing by.

Cheers
