March Mini Book
Hello! Here is my mini book for March. The monthly theme is AMBER so I have tried to use the different colours of the gemstone. I added a moth to the front as a reference to the inclusions in the gems.

February’s book
I decided to recreate the faux leather book I made for Hochanda. I painted the cover in DecoArt raw umber, then used Seth Apter’s technique of mono printing different colours with a piece of canvas paper. I used various browns and black, printing repeatedly to get a nice aged, dirty look.
I did this on the inside cover too. I painted the inside of the spine in gold, to tie in with our ‘golden’ theme for the month. Then I cut some pages and sewed them onto the spine. It doesn’t matter about making the outside stitching pretty as this will be covered over. The pages don’t completely fill the book, but I think I’ll put in some concertina pages when there’s a word I particularly like!
I cut a piece of calico to go over the spine and painted it black.
Then I coated this liberally in DecouPage glue and stuck it on the outside of the spine. You need to stretch it on a bit and open and close the book a bit to get the position right.
Finally I finished off the inside of the cover with some Stamperia paper. I clipped the inside pages together and let it dry.
For the embellishments, I found a lock and key from the Tando minis and covered them with embossing powder. The minis are made from thin card so there’s enough room in the tower to store the book. I had to change my other book with two hearts on it as it didn’t fit! Then I used an embossing pen to randomly blob round the edges of the book and embossed these with Aged Gold embossing powder.
For the first entry and to tie in with the ‘golden’ theme, I made a triple embossed page in gold, shamelessly copying Dee’s style as I love it so much!
Thanks for stopping by!

February - Golden
Hellooooo, it's February already! How are you all getting on with the prompts? I hope you are enjoying them as much as we enjoy seeing all your take on them.
As its a new month it's also time for a new book and I have used the monthly theme GOLDEN as inspiration. This little book is so golden it glows hahaha!
I painted all the substrates using *METALLIC GOLD*. Unlike most gold acrylics this one goes on in one coat, I didn't even need to use gesso!!!!! Magic!!!!! Over the top of the cover and on one side of each of the folders I embossed a background pattern in gold. On the other sides I embossed the same pattern in cream to match the heart. Had to have a * HEART* as its February!
I had some gold metallic embroidery thread that I was going to use but it kept knotting so I used cream instead.
Thank you for looking and keep up the good work, Karen x

January 1st-7th complete and Book Tower
Afternoon lovely people. I must say I am truly amazed at all the fabulous creations you are all posting over in the Facebook Group, so truly Inspiring.
Well I have completed my Book Tower.
And here is a close up of the top panel.
I went with a mystical theme and used gold crackle paste through a stencil.
For my mini books I have decided to go with the monthly theme for the covers, The weekly theme for the inserts and the daily prompts for the pages. So here is Januarys book and the first week of pages completed. I have kept to the same colour theme for all the pages by creating a master board background to cut all my pages from and then attach them to the concertina fold out in each of the inserts. Stamping added and then the word of the daily prompt. Make Sense?
Ice Book.
Inserts.
Day 1 Daily Prompt- Beginnings.
Day Two Daily Prompt- Lacy
Day Three Daily Prompt- Courage
Day Four Daily Prompt- Breath
Day Five Daily Prompt- Hope
Day Six Daily Prompt- Graffiti
Day Seven Daily Prompt- Star
So my first week completed. Will be back to post the second weeks pages.
Have fun all and happy creating

Hi there,
Celia here with my ‘star’ page.
I painted the background dark blue then heat embossed some tiny stars in silver, using some stars from Lavinia Stamps. I found a nice star in my Tando mini’s and wet it so I could peel off a thin layer, then embossed this with gold when it was dry.

I found the quote in my Tim Holtz stickers book and assembled the page. The shooting star tail is just drawn on with a gold pen.
Thanks!
