Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop.

Do you love creating amazing projects that showcase skully goodness?
We will be celebrating Skull Appreciation Day 2015 by featuring handmade projects that spotlight the much-loved cranium.
So hop on the blog train the blog roll is shown below at the end of this post and marvel in all that has been created and appreciate the wonders of all that is cranium AKA Skull.........

 



For my contribution I decided to make some sketch books from scratch. I cut my sketch paper to size and folded four signatures of four pages for each book. Which is 24 pages in total. I then created the background for my sketchbook covers in photoshop and printed out onto 300gsm cardstock. I then distressed and aged the covers further with distress Ink. Then Stamped each sketchbook cover with real rubber stamps. The covers were then sealed with micro glaze to protect and waterproof against any accidental spillages. The covers were then bound to the signature pages with staples on the spine. Quite pleased how these turned out and will come in quite handy on my travels.








Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read your next stop is Teresa.
