Making progress...

Finally I think this stupid illness is starting to turn. I feel a little better today so I'm trying to force myself (not the best perhaps - I know!) to get a bit ready (with having lost a week!) for the Christmas journal class which I'm taking. It's starting tomorrow!! Aaaaah! If I hadn't become ill I would have been fine, but as it is now I'm just that bit stressed...!! LOL!

So I needed to make some envelopes. I'm doing a mixed sized journal (with pages in different sizes) and I want some to be just envelopes. Never having done a mixed one before, I don't know how many envelopes I will want/need, so I only made four. Two white ones and two with patterned papers by Rhonna Farrer. I found my envelope-making-board which I bought a while back and I was really impressed. It will definitely be used more :)

Then I needed to get the title done for my album cover. I just wanted a simple "Xmas 2007" so I dug out some chipboard letters by Heidi Swapp and started painting them in red acrylic paint. Then I covered them with Stickles glitter (my favourite glitter, stays where it should and doesn't leave horrible dried glue marks on paper/card!) This is the state of them right now...lying drying on the paper I used to paint them on to catch any mess. Think I will leave them overnight to be sure...
