Texas Tues-Step!

I will be participating today in my first Texas Tues-Step. For this week's Texas creation, I decided instead of just making a card, I would like to make a little mini book to house the pictures of the Texas wildflowers I photographed recently. It came out great! I originally thought I would do some kind of chipboard book, but in the end, I just went with two colors of cardstock, all cut out with the nestiblities labels die number 8. A lighter blue was adhered to a darker blue making the pages thicker. Then I used my Bind It All to add the binding. And last but not least (of course!), I embellished each page with some kind of bauble, or rhinestone. All stamps are from Deadbeat Designs, my favorite company for Texas images. Oh, I didn't have a stamp that said "wildflowers" so I used some Thickers stickers. They have a fabric feel ... kinda cool! Tombows and a little spritz of water was used to color the bluebonnet on the front cover. The Texas punches are from Punch Bunch and the star cut outs are from a Cuttlebug Die. Here's my little book. I hope you enjoy my stamping and my photos!

So, every 1st and 3rd Tuesday, you can check out my Texas Tues-Step creation. I will try to add some links next time to other blogs participating so you can see their creations too!

Be sure to stop back by tomorrow. I am sharing with you the creative gifts I received for my birthday this last weekend. Happy Stamping!
