Thing-a-day 7 card making, paper maze and fallen angel!

It has been quite an exciting day as I went out this afternoon and got two
orders for my cards :) one of 120 and another of 36 so tonight's 'thing' was
making more stock. Out of interest, this basket holds just 100 cards!
The middle picture shows an open paper maze as I wanted to sketch it for the
back of the cardboard hanger and was suggested by a shopkeeper last week. I
have to say it was taxing, but I managed it! AND I re-made all the cardboard
hangers for the paper maze books and punched a knatty little slot in each of
them too. LOVE my new slot punching gadget!
This morning I worked on my 'Fallen Angel' logo again and was going to hang
her from the G as suggested yesterday. It's a great idea but makes the logo
to deep so have made another crude attempt at doing her. She needs shoes and
sparkle. Not tonight. I'm exhausted! It has been a very productive day but
not particularly creative!

For today's 'thing' I have made a cover (Jacqui's idea!) for a cheapo Tesco
jotter. It was quick and easy to make.

1 Cut mount board to size x 2
2 Cover the boards using paper 3/4" larger all around

3 cut off the four corners about 1/8" from the edge. NOT too close or you
wont get a neat result!
4 Apply glue to the edges, fold over and press in place
Machine stitch around a photo and add a few bits of torn, hand dyed fabric
as you go....! NO idea where the photo went!! it is on Thing-a-day!
 

5 Glue the photo to the front of the covered board
6 Apply glue to the front of the jotter and stick the cover in place
7 Do the same for the back
8 Iron some Bondaweb (Wunda-unda?!!)to the back of a small piece of fabric
9 Cut the fabric to size to fit over the top and down the back same as the
front


10 iron it in place
11 Stamp a word on the top
12 Add a gem
JOB DONE!!
Now I'm off to prepare dinner for 5 girlies tonight....suzi has suggested
Fajhitas so that's is what we are having!
