Debbi Moore Easter Challenge

Debbi Moore Designs are running an Easter themed challenge over at http://debbimooredesigns.blogspot.co.uk. Entries can be accepted up until 18th April so there is still plenty of time to enter.

My entry is a (sort of) egg shaped gatefold card, which I made using the free papers that came with issue 8 of  'Bringing Inspiration to you' magazine.

Debbi Moore Designs challenge entry

I'm getting into making notebooks this year and am entering this one into Debbi Moore Designs' very first challenge. The theme of the challenge is Love and it runs until midnight on 14th February. You can see the entries so far and enter here.

 

I made the A5 notebook using the Bind-it-All and decorated it using papers and elements from Debbi Moore's Vintage Birds CD, finishing it off with gems and glossy accents.

The cage that the bird is in has been raised on 3D foam but stuck down firmly round the edges. I wanted it to be slightly domed but also to not have loose items that could get bent or ripped when the notebook is used or stashed away in my bag.

The plaque reads: 'Love can always set you free' and I toyed with the idea of having the cage door open but decided that it could get easily damaged that way as the notebook is going to be frequently handled.

Perhaps I'll do a framed picture version and have the cage door open....
