Mini maze 'star' book etc

Well I am still having fun with my Paper Artsy Thorndon Hall Paper Pack. The tiny stacked slide mount frames are ready for the embellishments and the lasagne frome is painted ready too......
Heres the tiny mini maze book, complete all but for a bit of gossy accaents here and there. I decided to secure all the pages together to create a star type book for a change.
This is how it looks from the top.

All of the images and sentiments used are from my stash of 'Paper Artsy' stamps. Working with them took me back to when I first saw the stamp range in 2005 and eagerly ordered them to stock in my shop. They were just so different and very versatile. I don't think they will ever date.......

The pages of the book are just 7.5cm square.



I Love the fact that the papers have a white core. They are great for running through the cuttlebug and sanding back as shown below. I also sanded the edges.

The papers are also really smooth for stamping onto...



and distress inks just glide over so smoothly. A quick spritz of water adds to the effects.




I used some off-cuts to cover this little note book.
and did a basic scrapbook page using a couple of pics of Josh. I really had to stop myself adding flowers...
I really must have another clear out in my craft room.

There is stuff all over. I daren't even show you the floor!........ For some reason I always miss the bin!

It's a good job I stand up to craft as my chair is never empty.

It won't be long now until I box everything up ready for the house move. I keep putting it off, but really need to start getting organised. Anyway, if you are still reading this far down, thanks for visiting, it is appreciated.
