Divido i Midori in due post, per praticità. Questo è il primo:
Per la copertina ho usato: la fustella Sizzix Journal scoreboard XL by Ellen Hull, un pezzo di tessuto da divani preso da un catalogo e incollato su un cartoncino di recupero;
Questo è il dorso del Midori
All'interno ho attaccato un pezzo di nastro di organza e un cuore di legno, in modo da poterlo usare come segnalibro. In una bustina di plastica ho inserito molte forme fustellate e piccole decorazioni di diverso genere.
Tra le fustellate ho messo la bellissima donna vintage di Tattered Lace che ho tagliato con la fustella che ho avuto in regalo da Brenda (grazie!!!) e che è una delle mie fustelle preferite. L'ho colorata ed ero davvero tentata di incollarla sulla copertina, ma.... la scelta spetta alla destinataria del Midori! :D
Per le copertine dei quaderni interni ho usato avanzi di carta di diversi brand, qualche fustellata e cartelle da embossing. I quaderni sono tenuti a posto da elastici, quindi si potranno sostituire le pagine quando saranno scritti... Sono semplici fogli bianchi piegati a metà, come in questo Midori che fatto tempo addietro.
Anche questa bellissima finestra è fatta con una fustella Tattered Lace che ho ricevuto da Brenda!
Nella foto qui sotto invece della carta ho usato il vellum, embossato con un EF Creative Expressions e poi bordato con del washi tape :)Sono curiosa di vedere come la mia amica decorerà il suo Midori! :D Ho dovuto trattenermi per lasciarlo senza decorazioni! LOL :D

What a great idea, such a beautiful creation. I'm sure it will be treasured by the recipient. xx
RispondiEliminaI didn't know the term "Midori" as I don't journal. But this is such a lovely project and your co-workers are so lucky to be gifted with something so thoughtful, useful, and that they can use the selection of die cuts, embellies to personalize their journal just exactly the way they chose. What a perfect back-to-school article for your friends to receive from you, and I expect they will think of you each time they use it over the year. You had some lovely 'findings' and I really liked the texture of the covering - and then adding the delicate lace with the rustic leaves. Such an interesting combination, and so pretty. This is a labor of love, sure to be appreciated! TFS & have a good weekend, Alice. Hugs

As a recipient of one of your fantastic Midori creations I know exactly how fabulous they are with all the separate little notebooks and die cut surprises inside. This is another example of your wonderful creations which your co worker will love. Oh, and Wow! for the beautiful lace your grandmother had made. Crafting talent definitely runs in your family :).

RispondiEliminaBuon giorno Alice,
RispondiEliminaHai un bel diario dei media misti che farà un bel regalo per qualcuno di speciale.
Sono così felice che hai trovato l'uso per la donna Tattered Lace e avere dei bei lacci creati da tua nonna è davvero molto speciale.
Buon fine settimana

RispondiEliminaI had to google midori. Apparently it’s a drink and a travel journal:). The outside has a lovely textured finish. Love the crochet detail and lace. The inside, wow, such a beautiful mix of papers, all well coordinated colorwise. It’s beautiful.
RispondiEliminaYour one-of-a-king Midoris are just beautiful! I love the die-cut girl in the full dress and all of the other elements included with this gift. The pages, papers and embossing are something very special and sure to be treasured by your friend! This is a super WOW project!!
