Waterfall Albums

Since I saw the waterfall technique for cards, I love it. So easy and funny!
I really like this kind of objects you can play with.

Using that same technique, I made these waterfall albums that show you today.
Funny, right?

In this pink album, the curly pattern from the cover and the inside papers is created and stamped by me. (yeah!)
The cover graph paper is from Toga.

The papers I used for this orange album are from Toga.

The inside patterned papers in this blue album are stamped for me too.
The cover is made with origami paper.
(Sorry, I took this pictures before finish the inside of this last album.)

Lovely presents, don't you think?

So, this albums enters in:
- Lucy's 4th Challenge: Glitter
- Kaboodle Blog Challenge: Anything but a card.

I can't believe it!

There is a challenge in Scrapblog (sorry, the site is only Spanish): they give a tutorial for make an album and we can choose the topic. The project is really simple and with a lot of possibilities. So, I was working on it and finally I got not an album but a cute notebook (you know I love notebooks) and, although it was a little bit late, I sent my notebook's pictures...

Yesterday, they began to post the accepted projects and, today, there was mine too!

I'm so happy!

I know, it's not my first challenge, but I feel this like something special.

Take a look on this link, and you can see my project (number 6) with others...

A last minute present.

A dear male-friend who did not see for a long time called me last Friday night to tell me that yesterday (Sunday) would come to town to spend the day with us. What could I do? Prepare a gift for men always get me in trouble, and on such a short notice seemed impossible!

All day Saturday went off and I found not a gift idea for my friend. Just at night occurred to me that a card keeper (for banks cards) would be a nice present. Then I remembered this simple and quickly method to make an envelopes album that had seen some time ago and I set to work. Made some adaptations to the original method (actually, I only used the idea of attach quickly the envelopes with tape), used origami papers (they are always beautiful) for decorate it and in one hour, more or less, was over.

I put his initials in the cover.

It has six pages, each one with envelopes in both sides... So, he can keep twelve cards in it!

What do you think? (my friend loves it!)
(Images were taked Sunday morning, in a hurry... Sorry for the low quality!)

Shakespeare... in love!

I'm starting some Shakespeare's Studies... so, I urgently needed a notebook for this purpose. But it is Shakespeare, and such an important author deserves not any notebook, right? What should I do?
I was thinking about it for the last two days and finally got my first altered notebook...

This is how it looks in the inside.

And two close ups, one for the cover...

...and one for the double pocket inside.

Now I'm feeling in great conditions for this kind of studies!

Memo pads.

Hi! I’m finally back after a long vacation… Hope you all have had happy holidays!
As Christmas presents, I made these little memo pads (because I love notebooks and similars), and I would like to share with you.

It’s so cold in this old Europe!
