Today, there are several things going on in Nancyland. First, it's Workshop Wednesday at For Keeps Sake. Head on over and see what Amy created for you today.
Then it's What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday over at Stamping Ground. Here's what I'm working on today:
It's a little somthing-something for Simon Says Stamp & Show challenge blog. I need to have it finished by Saturday. Since I have a class Saturday and kits to make up, I'll finish it today. This is the only thing I can show you until Monday when it's posted on Simon Says Stamp & Show.
What I can show you is this:
It's my altered book. Would you believe in all the years I've been paper crafting, I have never done one of these. This is very exciting for me (admittedly, it doesn't take much). In my CYI group (which meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month at For Keeps Sake), we have *guest* instructors i.e., someone from the group who volunteers to teach one altered page each meet-up.
Bonnie taught these pages. Unfortunately, I forgot my supplies (hey, it happens . . . especially when I was worried about remembering everything for the Stamp Club group.). But I did pay attention to everything Bonnie taught that night. I loved this little fold with pockets everywhere. Just finished this yesterday and boy was it fun!
This was my favorite:
I thought this was a genius idea!
Thanks Bonnie. Really enjoyed it.
Love your altered book. Great colours and textures.

You're right -0 it is a genius idea and look how you carried it off. I love a book full of folds and pockets, it opens up possibilities.

That's a beautiful book. There's so many things out there to make or try, techniques, folds, new stuff. I have absolutely no idea how I have time to got to work some days!!
