Steampunk Journal

It's time for a new progressive challenge at Paper Craft Planet Sassy Studio Designs. Have you been playing along with the previous challenges?  If not there's no time like now to start.  This month's image is the terrific Steampunk Amelia and the challenge is to make a "Steampunk" themed project.  If you don't know what Steampunk is, Google it or take a look at this video on YouTube.  It's quite interesting. So I wanted to make something other than a card this time.  This is what I created.

I have gotten into making books and journals lately.  If you are interested in learning how to do it.  Here is a video by SeaLemonDIY.
I used a Wheaties box as my cover. And have 65 folded sheets of grey paper inside.

 I covered it with 2 types of "leather-like" paper.

I am also entering my project in this week's challenge at Paper Make Up Stamps Digi Make Over Challenge #101 (Anything but a Card)

Birthday Kitty

Time to play along at Sassy Studio Designs "DTBST # 167". See it here. This week's challenge was to "Think Green and Recycle" something.  So when I saw the SSD "Pin up Cat", I knew I had to buy it and make this card.  I used the labels off of 3 cat food cans and created a background panel.  First a pic of the recipient of the cat food.  "Neka" my cat.

Neka

 Now the card.
