Crafts by Bobbie: Discover new beginings

Howdy friends and fellow crafter's. I sure hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was so nice here, the only rain we got was in the first of the morning while we were asleep. So that left the whole day for us to work together on house projects. Well now of course I had to make an excuse to be in the craft room to finish putting together a book card for my Step-daughter's Graduation. I used some grunge board for the base and covered it with the paper collection called "Once Upon a Time". I also wrote the verse that is on each page, together it reads like this, "As time goes by You grow inside, You bloom in the Spring You want to Fly High,Until the next Window opens in Life For you to Fly by. On the Cover I used some flowers in shades of mauve or browns, I mixed 3 types of ribbon and tied a ting bow, I also added some bling.The 2nd page has pic's of clocks and I also added inside parts to a clock. Then added some lace around the boarder. On the 3rd page I added some little flowers and also some tiny butterfly's spreading their wings and then in the corner I added a diploma. Finally on the last page I put a banner reading "The Graduate" and an embellishment of a graduation cap. I tied this all together with distress Ink around all the edges and a ribbon to keep it together.
