My Mind's Eye Hip & Luxurious Basics chip board book (Evangeline Redd)

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I last posted a blog, a picture, a card, a anything.  So much has been going on; however, I will not bore ya'll with the drama... I have been busy buying Tilda's, went to the convention (Great American Scrapbook Convention), did really well spent under $100.00.  I have done quite a few Tilda cards and a few Sarah Kay's but my latest project which has kept me quite busy, is my chipboard book.  I named it Evangeline Redd, because it reminds so much of old New Orleans and red is my favorite colour.  I am uploading pictures of my book, I am not quite finished with it; however, I need to break up the monotony by doing another project (like a quick Maggie card or Sarah Kay).  I don't know how but I have to find a way to get 2 (TWO) more pages into this book ( it came with 8 inserts and I've only put in 6 because the O rings are not large enough) and then I'll put the finishing touches on the back (ooh-wee wish me luck with that).   I used the "Hip & Luxurious Basics" by My Mind's Eye.

This is the front cover of the book, I used prima flowers, WOC flowers, sprigs from JoAnn's, some rose buds from Michaels, a couple designer pins, inked the edges with Tim Holt's Fired Brick Red, and the binding ribbon is from my SU retired ribbon stash.

Okay ya'll I'm going to double up on the photos because they will take up a lot of room.  SU Ribbon stash; I think the color was Ridding Hood Red.  SU brought this colour back in the current line up; however the ribbon is not current (sorry). 

Well, I thought I was going to double up; however, it won't work. So I will just add each one.  What a waste of space.

Okay, I figured it out; hott dogg; I'm on a roll!! The large flower was my first attempt at those Lollipop Roses or flowers, not bad for the first time but I need to keep practicing.
