Tea Time Book...

Hi.. hope everyone had a good week.. mine

was very busy.. I didn't get a chance to do any

cards and probably won't until all of the house

hunting and moving is done.. Sooo, I wanted to

share a "Tea Time" book I made a while ago to keep

receipts, ideas, coupons etc. in..

I used 5 x 7 top loading envelopes, I used 5 and the

front and back are cardboard. I cut off the top,

then covered front and back of each envelope

with patterened paper I made

and A LOT of clip art...

The binding is an accordian fold strip and the

envelopes are glued between each fold.

(does that make sence)

I love black toile, I hope to use a little in my new house ( a little goes a long way ! )

You can't see the saying on this very well but it says..

"There is no trouble so great or grave that

cannot be deminished with a cup of tea..."

This one says...

"Remember the tea kettle....it is always

up to it's neck in hot water, yet it still sings"

I put a black cardstock binding on with ribbon to

keep it closed.. I really enjoy making books, I have

made quite a few for friends and my grandkids.

I hope one day they will enjoy them.. Well,

hope you all have a great weekend, I probably

won't be here for a few days, but you never know..

it's hard for me to stop creating and doing what I love to

do so I could be back tomorrow.. (big grin:)

Check out my friend Pat's blog .. she has a lot of

enjoy the rest of your day... Jen
