Sketch Saturday #170 Joy with Fluffy Stuff...

Happy Saturday peoples!!

Hope you are all okay? 

its time for another YUMMY Sketch Saturday Sketch.... YAY!!

Heres my DT card...

I've used some new stash for this... the super cute Gorjuss stamp, which I got from Quixotic Paperie...

I've stamped her with Rich Cocoa ink, instead of black for a bit of a change...

and coloured with promarkers...

The papers are MME, and Prima.

Can you see the fluffy snow on the tree and the 'ground'???

I was lucky enough to win a £10 Joanna Sheen voucher a couple of weeks ago at the Glitter Geeks challenge 

and I bought a snow maker pen... OMG how fun is it watching it puff up!!?

I think I went over the top a bit with it, but I like the effect...

I also bought the scattered text stamp which I've used for the circle background... its by creative expressions.

heres a side view... you can see the 'snow' a bit better I think...

The 'Joy' is alphabet stickers from a crate paper kit

I've cut the lace border with a martha stewart punch....

and to finish added my 'usuals' don't need to say it anymore...lol!

Hope you like??

My little book of important people...

Howdy doody!

Something a bit different today...

an altered address book!!

The whole idea of this actually came from the stamp.... YEP, another one that I HAD to have, but then wasn't sure how to use... She actually has a book, and some scissors on the stamp, but I cut them off (it didnt hurt... honest!)

SO, I kept thinking.... book, and people... and eventually.... THIS happened...

I took the 'book' idea and cut a load of strips from an old book... 

(being careful to omit any swear words... titter!)

stuck them all over the front of an existing address book I had...

I added a couple of bits of fabric at the opening...

The super gorgeous stamp is obviously one of the new gorjuss girls... I got her from Bunny Zoes 

She's coloured with promarkers....

NOW the title.... 

I had the INGENIUS idea of trying to find all the words I wanted, within the same book I used to cover the front... Do you know how long it takes to find the word 'BOOK' inside a book??? you'd think it would be easy... right? NOPE!!! suggestion.... don't bother....LOL!!!

anyway, I got there in the end!

I added a strip of Kraft up the edge, cut with a binder punch, and plopped on some ranger enamel accents in black.

Tied some ribbon around the end, and added a star and key charm...

et voila!

Hope you like it, I have to say it was so much fun to make, and looks much better than it did before!!

I think I've got the urge to alter EVERYTHING now....
