from our workshop: cha winter sneak peek #4

 a few more goodies to share from our latest CHA winter release!

we've gotten LOTS of requests for more metal embellishments so we just had to pull together 2 new sets. The gypsy frames and tiny flea market findings.  

And a new set of journal pages~ we incorporated some of our favorite elements from Trousseau into a 2 sided set of journal pages.  These fit perfectly inside all of our small vintage book covers AND the new small vintage frame cover shown on the left.

Look at this gorgeous mixed media tray using our collage tissues and the new Trousseau journal pages!

More of the Vintage Frame Covers in a larger size~ these were designed to allow for binding along the top.  You can see how cool they look with a vintage photo tucked inside the opening on the front cover.

Once you've complete a new journal with the frame covers you can display it in our new Vintage Book Stand.  It's designed to hold a book, 5x7 photo or even a cleverly crafted sign... we were inspired by the vintage sign holders we've seen at flea markets and this stand was a HUGE hit at CHA!

7gypsies book covers

This week we have found some interesting uses for our 7gypsies book covers (one thanks to a little bird who told us where to find it...thanks Beth!). See, we really do read the comments you leave us.

We love when our products are used in different ways than we might have intended them to be used (that's so like us gypsies, isn't it?)So back to the ideas...

Book Cover-Victoria

Book Cover-Gypsy

This inspiring project by Wendela was created for her wedding anniversary.
You can find out how she did it here on her blog.

And a great idea from Beth...she turned 2 sets of different covers on their side to make a zig-zag journal for her brother...very clever. You can see the tutorial on her blog (we love tutorials with step by step photos!) Thanks Beth!

We also have two more book covers that arrived at CHA this summer...come back on Monday for a FABULOUS book project using one of them...we guarantee your gonna love it (and it might inspire you to take a trip to Paris!).

PS) if you have used one of our book covers in an unusual way (or even in the standard fashion) we'd love to see it! Just post it to our member gallery.
