I saw a great little idea for a fold out little book on Lindas blog Blue Eyed Girl..check it out for instructions..she has some lovely arty inspiration. After a stressful morning trying to get my son to school who has Monday morning-itis! I spent some lovely time watching the housemartins who have made a nest in our roof eaves so this was the inspiration for the cover of my little book. I have used some lovely bird and reed stamps onto a background from Ceremony freebies. The inside pages I have dry brushed white and used some word stamps....it reminds me of those fold out paper quiz toys that I used to make as a child . The quote stamp on the front reads "follow your dreams for they hold your future". All the stamps I have used are from Scrollswork. I have had the ribbon and old lace for a long time and I love the vintage look it adds to the little book. The little beads to the paper flowers add a little pretty touch...

What a beautiful little book! Precious!
How sweet is this?! And when I saw how you'd done the inside it transported me straight back to my school playground of the late 1960's/early 1970's (say that bit quietly!). Well done for managing to de-stress after drop-off. I'm with your son on Monday morning-itis though!! x
