Crafty Individuals canvas book

I have transformed a couple of Crafty Individuals http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/ mini canvas' into a tiny little accordion book. Why I don't just use them as a canvas is beyond me but I like to try and inspire my readers to think outside the box a bit.......

The birds singing in the mornings and the spring flowers inspired my 'SPRING TIME' book.

All of the images and words are stamps by Crafty Individuals, plates 194 music, 256 words and birds, 287 birds on wire and sentment,296 clock face and 302 flowers. I just added a few leaves, flowers and pearly centres as embellishments, oh and flower soft for the birds 'nest'.


The book opens out to reveal the words 'Spring Time'.

Thanks again to Jean and Malcolm of Crafty Individuals for their yummy stamps. The tiny canvasses are also from them, you can find them on their web site under 'Must Haves'.
Right, off to do a spot of baby sitting now, must try to remember to take some photo's to share with you all, he is really growing up so fast!!!

It is me again, a few days later. Still enjoying your canvas book. Don't be frightened of sewing...just do it.
Just get stuck in, don't plan anything.
I don't even care what colour the thread is , I just press my foot down and go. You can always paint it over, if you are not happy.
Have fun!
Sue xx

Love the Spring book ;)
Just popped by to say thanks for the input on the score board....sounds like the scor-it board is worth investigating.
