FRIENDS Wordbook - A Work In Progress

This project is a work in progress. I don't usually post about unfinished work. But Cute and Some is having its Contributors Showcase #6 this week. The guidelines for the projects are: It can be any type of project. It just has to have the colors green, or purple, or both and include a flower. When I read this, I knew I had to enter this project even if unfinished.
I am making this for my niece that is turning 13 at the end of this month. Her favorite colors are green & purple.

I will post again about this when I have the entire book finished with details (well the details that I can remember anyway).

My First Wordbook: I Finally Did It!!!

I want to thank everyone & anyone that has ever posted pictures and/or directions on how to make a wordbook. I probably have looked at it & got inspiration to make this.

I am so glad I waited to get my ATG and BIA to do this. I don't think it would have been as easy or as fun to do. I made this with my daughter's name. It was a test run piece and there are some flaws, but that's why I made this one for us. Overall I am very proud of it. I still have to add pics, but it is fully decorated & put together.

Details:

I used CDS with George and Basic Shapes & Opposites Attract (shadow for the letters) to make the pages. I used a cereal box for one page and some cardboard from a Crayola Stamp Set box as chipboard. I covered front of each page with a dark pink cardstock and the back of each page with a light pink cardstock. I then sanded down any rough edges and inked around the edges on both sides of each page.

I punched the holes & bound the book using my new BIA and 3/4' o-wires.

I cut the letters out again not using the shadow feature and layered them onto the shadow letters of the pages.

For decorations I used:

Misc. cardstock, skittles (plastic Decorative Accents from M's), Fastenator & Staples, Ribbon, Cuttlebug Embossing Folders & Sizzix Embossing Plates, Border Punches - Leave-it-to-Weaver, Fleur-di-lis, & Threading Water, Misc. Brads, Prima Flowers, Misc. Buttons, Sanding Block for embossing, & ColorBox Pigment Inks for details & embossed papers.

Thanks for looking. Questions and comments are alwyas welcomed.
