It's time for week two of the challenge over at Anything But A Card, Our theme is Anything Goes,
Sadly this is my last make for Anything But A Card, it is time for me to move on to new things and wish everyone involved with ABAC all the best and to say a great big thank you for having me as part of such a talented team.
For my last make I am sharing a little book I made in a class held at my local craft shop, The Craft Barn. The class was held by Kathy Byrne and is part of a monthly book making class.
All the paper is form the 6x6 paper pad from Prima called 'Engraver' I do not use a lot of printed papers but this is a great set.It has a lovely vintage feel and is manly enough but should appeal to the ladies too.
The book was made from chip board cut to shape and then covered with some thick black card, this was then over laid with the various papers. The pages have been created from plain envelopes, distressed round the edges and the papers were glued in place, there are a couple of pockets made from card added to the inside cover with an area left for some stamping or journalling.There is also a pocket on the back and I have added one to one of the inside pages, Perfect for adding some little tags or messages.
I has been finished with a ribbon tie to hold the book closed.

Thank you everyone for stopping by and sharing my post for ABAC it is certainly sad to be leaving but stay tuned for what's next ;)
Remember there is still one week left to take part, we would love to see you joining us. xx
