A little bit of crafting again

[wiseheart]

Today I decided to pull myself together and finished the birthday journal for Baby Emma's big brother, who's turning four in September. It is a Viking-themed journal, or rather a sea-themed one, with removable details and all that. Apologies for the quality of the pictures; the sunlight was very bright today, and therefore the shadows way too deep.

Here is the cover, with all the Vikings and ships and sea monsters:



(The actual background colour is the deeper hue of blue you can see on the upper part.)

This is the same cover, but with the flap open, and the accordion card from the inside unfolded above:



Inside view, with the flap open. The Hungarian inscription translates to "Devil of the Seven Seas". *g*



A closer look at the inside, without the accordion card and the flap open:



Not my best or most sophisticated creation, I'm afraid, but looks nice enough. I hope Theo will like it.

Some really fabulous prints. Love the Vikings with dragons!

They are great, aren't they? All the prints are from motif cardboard and origami paper sets called "Kids".

I think he will love it! :

Well, you can never be sure with a 4-year-old, but I hope so, too. :)

He'll adore it...although I suspect some of that 3D work will be scattered about the house by the end of the day. :D

Yes, I think that's a strong possibility, but I just couldn't resist. Those 3D stickers were a gift from artemis10002000, and I've been waiting for a long time to put them to good use.

I totally love the Viking paper ... :-)

Yeah, so do I. Unfortunately, this was the only sheet in the whole set, so you see what a sacrifice I made for little Theo. ;))

Aww, how sweet - big brother gets a journal too! It turned out great.

Thanks. I thought he ought to be spoiled a bit, too, lest he gets jealous of Baby Emma - fortunately, no such reactions yet. My granddaughter says that he loves ships and pirates and cars and planes and all boyish stuff, so I hope he'll like his journal, too.
