pdcc#13 black n white with hints of colour

I just love the vintage pieces in this photo.  Wouldn't you just love a typewriter that colour?  I would, and the phone would just be ace to use.  Anyway, I digress.  Jules, the lucky thing, is getting ready to go to CHA, but she did leave us with yummy colours to play with :)

As promised, this is the stamp I got from The Cubby Hole yesterday.  It's by the Artful Stamper and I just love it. I got the turquoise stickles and red spotty ribbon there too :)

The background papers are the Black Market Paper Society papers from the Stamp Attic that I used in the 50 memory book project I made the other week.  I had a handful of sheets left over.

And I just love sewing little bits n pieces together as embellishments :)

memory book

I was asked at the weekend to make a memory book which could contain photographs and comments from friends.  It was via a friend of a friend so I didn't know the person, but what a lovely surprise gift - a book full of photographs and nice things written about you!!

Apparently the recipient loves black and white films, wears black a lot, and likes pierrot clowns so I hope she likes this book which I made using my bind-it-all.  I alternated five pages of white card with five pages of black and decorated each page with collage elements, papers and Tim's film strip ribbon [which comes in the cutest tin!!].

When I phoned Wendy at the Stamp Attic to order the film strip ribbon I asked her for suggestions of any suitable papers and she sent me some yummy, yummy papers by the Black Market Paper Society.  I rarely do books like this, usually for gifts for close friends getting married, but this was very relaxing - lots of cutting and sticking :)
