Maze book attempt one

Morning to all my blog friends

and Hello to my new follower Okienurse

Very nice of you to join me

This post is picture heavy.. grab a coffee

and I will try not to rabbit on tooooo much :o)

I have been saying about this maze book

for nearly a week now so thought I had best get it posted on here

We may be internet-less at any time !!!

(just two weeks to go...excited)

I saw it on Julia Dunnits blog two weeks ago

and thought I have to give that a try

so here is my attempt

Here I have my large peice of card folded ready to be cut

you can also see book number two

Yes I am going to make another

Here is the front

I decided on a paper Christmas tree

then used a gold wooden star and peel offs

Here is the book stood finished

Now onto the inside

I chose to do Paul and Hector

As the book will be going to Paul's mum

the little Teddy tag is from Bugaboo

the house image from Google

This page again using a picture from Google

We spent a good hour or so downloading music

and then burning the CD,

we then used the same image on the cd.

The music is King college Choir and it's lovely

I listened to it while making the book

I have a lot of stitching paterns

so hunted through and found an Angel

Perfect for Christmas and only took an hour to sew

And with the added bonus Paul's mum loves them

I then used part of a Christmas carol 

and yet another Image from Google to create the opposite page

Here is a closer view of the Angel

Isn't she sweet.

(I plan to sew another this afternoon for the next book)

Then came the two pooches

Tasmin and Kiya

I don't mention Kiya much on here 

she spends most of the day laid outside

and Tasmin is always by my side.

(Kiya is Paul's dog)

Then it was the terrible two...lol

This is an old picture of the two of us

but I know Paul's mum likes it so used it

The snowman is from Bugaboo

The robins I found on the PC but it doesn't tell me where I got them from

Next came Santa

I used a couple of verses from a very famous Rhyme

with Ivy round as I could not find my Holly

(I was a lot annoyed but it doesn't look too bad)

Then in the pocket there is Santa

He came from the local supermarket

I thought it would be nice to have a small present inside the book

so in he went, and he will be hung on the tree after

Closer view of Santa

not sure you can tell but he has sparkly beard and hem on his coat

This page I was stuck on for ages...

so opted for tree and Raindeer

It look quiet plain to the other pages

Then came the BIGGEST pest of all

**Hannah**

This was last years School photo

Then just a rather plain back page

Finished book...

oh and I HAVE to add the next picture

Paul thinks people should see that it is me making these things..lol

I really don't like my picture being taken...lol

but that's me, happy in craft world, making a mess

I am going to enter this into
