LOVE IT! Faux Book

This was inspired to me by my friend Frances. She is so wonderful and always looking for inspiration for me to make creations. While I was making this tonight, she just kept saying how much she loved it, when I .... well did not! But then I normally don't like anything I make until it is finished. 

I actually used the front of a card that I did in the past for the front of this faux book. I mean I really did just rip it off the other card and put it on here...LOL I was telling Frances that I wanted it to look like this card.. but I was out of Pool Party Card Stock... 

Frances left the room for a moment and she said she was thinking to herself... "she is going to rip that off the card" and SURE ENOUGH! She walked back in the room and that is EXACTLY what I was doing! LOL That woman knows me a little to well sometimes I think.. but I LOVE it! 

Frances is actually the inspiration for the inside of my card as well. I found this quote or something like it, because it was refering to men... on a website. I was looking through the friendship quotes and found this one and thought "this is the story of my life!" and had to use it!  You may need to click the photo to pop up the true size if you want to see it, but it says "A friend is someone that knows ALL about you, and STILL likes you" LOL I LOVE IT! is that perfect or what?!?

But this little card was a lot faster than what I thought it was going to be.. I mean making the inside because of course since I ripped my other card apart to get this one it was fast...lol 

I did write up a tutorial for it. If you would like it you can purchase it by CLICKING HERE

but I love how it looks like one of those old fashion books that you can hide things in :) Talk about some fun! :)

Even my son was impressed by this. He has been making cards with me all day and let me know tonight that he wants to work for Stampin' Up! too. My husband asked if he wanted to go to work with him and learn to drive a forklift ... that was fun. My son said "No, that's boring daddy! I want to make cards and videos with mommy and Stampin' Up!"   Granted I am sure that will change in his life later on... but I still love it now :) 

Well I best be going, no rest and still have work to do :) 

Until the next time my friends!
