So as some of you may know I became an aunty for the first time yesterday to my brothers girlfriends baby boy Theo & let me tell you he is a CUTIE! I am already a mom myself but this is my first time to be an Aunt so I am very excited :)
This project was for Cathy (Theos mom-did I mention he is gorgeous!!). My brother Eoghan-the new dad :) bought a novel and all the pages were blank-it's so cool and she can use it for notes etc. So anyways when he bought this book it was BRIGHT
YELLOW, I asked Cathy what theme would she like me to do the covers and she said that Angels are something that mean alot to her so that's what I based this book on:
This is the book in its yellow state-I had just started painting up the covers when I realised I needed a "before" pic
All the pages inside are blank!
And here is the finished book
The frame was a reddish brown old frame I had so I painted it up and also used some silver leaf that I got from Maggie-thanks Maggie :)
The cool silver metal wings are Tim Holts that I got from createwithkate-thanks Kate, the C is a grunge letter that I painted up to match and also you can see the crackle paint effect I used on the covers here....
I also added some angel pages throughout the book...
I made a little bookmark for her to use in the book again with another little angel image & charm set
These beautiful lil angel charms were made by my crafty friend Niamh!
A lovely lil quote on the back
And that's it-thanks for visiting! I have a mini album almost complete for Theo too so I will share that soon,
