Swap 2013 - page 2

Here are the pictures of the 2nd page I decorated in the Swap. I tried to be more shabby chic with this one. I like the look of shabby chic but I am not that good at it. My strength lies elsewhere.

 For the first page I went into my limited stash of trimms, laces and doilies. I formed a pocket out of the small flap and covered it in pattern paper and decorated it with trimm and a Prima stamp I had in my stash. For the inside of the pocket I used a script stamp for the background and a piece of a paper doily. The tag is covered in pattern paper and distressed.

 For the inside of the flap I distressed a piece of pattern paper and inked it with frayed burlap. I punched out a few small butterflys and used small pearls to accent them.
On the other side I used a piece of pattern paper and used gesso as my ink. The photocorner are metal embellishments form my stash. I gessoed them and glued down the edges, so the page would hold a full 4x6 picture.

On the other side, the flap is covered with a piece of pattern paper. To decorate it, I used a piece of crochet lace from my stash and made a tab out of a metal embellishment. I decorated the circle with flowers from my stash.

The inside of this page is just decorated with a piece of pattern paper, so a big picture can be placed. The other side has a pocket with 3 tall journaling tags. I stamped the tags with the  My Mind's Eye, Lost and Found stamp set. I used a small paper doily from my stash for a photomat.

On the big tag inside the page, I glued down a  paper doily. The round metal embellishment I had used on the tab on one of the flaps, fit perfectly inside. So I gessoed it and glued it ontop. I pit a small butterfly in the middle to tie the pages together.
