LOVE, LOVE....

Hello friends

All you need is love, all you need is love
All you need is love, love. 
Love is all you need 

Feel free to sing along...!  
No I haven't gone totally mad but I recall humming
that popular little tune while making this project....
A little covered notebook and matching cotton bag. 

By using the new Spellbinders® metal shims cutting thick felts, fabrics, leather 
and more is now an absolute breeze. 
The shims are available in Junior size for the Grand Calibur and a 
slimmer version for the Artisan X-Plorer .
I have both sizes available in my Amazon shop :)
If you need any advice regarding these please feel free to get in touch.
The only paper I've used is to cover the notebook - everything else is fabric and felt.
The dies are the very lovely new Die D-Lite  Swirled Heart and Font One - Uppercase.
More details regarding these projects can be found here - they've just appeared in the 
Spellbinders Idea Gallery.  
I will let you into a little secret...those heart shaped 'buttons' I've used are actually
pins from the British Heart Foundation.
 If you visit any of their charity shops they have them by the tills, for a small
donation you can purchase a sparkly pin, 
I thought they were lovely and finished my projects perfectly - just nipped off the 
pin section with pliers and popped a 3D Foam Square on the back.

Yesterday was a hospital day and Elliott is making fantastic progress with the special mask,
everyone at the hospital is really pleased and hopefully we are starting 
treatment very soon.  
I will keep you posted - thank you, as always for your kindness, it really keeps us going.

Take care friends.

Hi Christine. That is really fantastic news. Go Elliott! I love the notebook cover and bag, very pretty. I must get the shim to have a go at some of these. Off to the Spellbinders site again now : ) Take care.

I forgot to say that I often use charity badges etc on my cards. If someone supports a certain charity I try and include their badge/ pin etc somewhere on their card. X
