Happy Father's Day!

Today is Father's Day in Canada and we had a lovely day in the great outdoors. This is the card I made for my daughter to give to her Dad. It is an interactive "reveal wheel" card. The background is a scenery stencil design from Claire Brennan stencilled with Distress Oxide Inks, and the car and wheel mechanism are from Lawn Fawn. Each turn of the wheel reveals a change in the car window.

    

Normally the reveal wheel card window is at the top third of a card but I did some engineering to make it sit in the lower third for this one. The inside of the card says:

 

Mini Books

 

Quite happy with a couple of mini books I made this weekend. While I used to make and swap them regularly, it has been maybe ten years since I made one! I recently purchased new stamps that make covers, spines and marbled end papers for mini books from Claire Brennan Design (former purveyor of Waltzingmouse Stamps). I am entering this in the Love to Craft Anything Goes challenge.

These books measure 2.25 X 3 inches. Claire also nicely provided instructions for making wee slipcovers to slide the books into! I used some wonderful scrapbook paper I have been hoarding from 49th and Market.

I decorated the inside in a sort of nature notes theme. I collaged bits of tissue and napkins and ephemera, and pulled out some vintage (both style and age!) rubber stamps from Oxford Impressions. 

I will add individual pages here. I have been following @katiepertiet for awhile on social media and her journal pages inspired this effort although she shows far more restraint with her mixed media!
