OFF THE PAGE with my Flying Unicorn May Kit "Coffee & Muse"

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE SHIMMERZ BLOG HOP…GOHERE!

Hi everyone! Today I have my off the page project from the Flying Unicorn May Kit of the Monh “Coffee & Muse”. The OTP included in this months kit is a Tim Holtz Large Configuratoin Book…and how much fun was this to make. I decided to make it a nautical them and use some photos from my recent trip down the Oregon Coastline. Such a gorgeous area to visit. I was definately inspired by fellow team mate Jen on the theme for this.


 

Here is the front cover and this book is BIG. I have used lots of goodies from the Flying Unicorn store. The background is a combo of gesso and Shimmerz mists. The cute little segul is a photo I got and fussy cut him out.



The fun metal pieces are from Fabscraps and that is a piece of driftwood that I got on the beach there.



Just look at that coastline……gorgeous I tell ya! This is the inside cover and was so much fun to make. I used LOTS of Shimmerz mists here and let them drip lots. All of the yummy flowers and trims are from the Flying Unicorn store.



Here is the inside of the book now and a few close ups.




 
 

Well that is it for today! This is NSD weekend and the Flyign Unicorn is celebrating with lots of fun and games and prizes. Swing by the forums for some fun!  Feel free to leave me some scrappy love comments, I love reading them ...take care and happy scrapping J
