Favor and question
Nov. 27th, 2005 11:51 pmMerry upcoming Christmas, craftgrrls who celebrate it! To those who celebrate other things, Merry What-You-Celebrate! And to those who celebrate nothing, well, Merry days ahead! :)
That said, I've got a favor to ask and a question, and answers to both or either can help me with things I'll be making as Christmas gifts! :)
The favor is this - I'm doing a scrapbook/altered book type thing (my first time ever doing such a thing) for a friend, and the running theme is going to be "Pieces of..." - I want to have a recurring puzzle-piece motif running throughout the book. Trouble is, I cant find any decent puzzle piece images via Google or Blingo or anything! I was wondering if any of you ladies might have such images handy, or possibly if you've got a jigsaw puzzle handy, maybe you could trace around the edge of some pieces and send me the images? That would be so swell. :) Thanks in advance!!
The question is - Does anyone have any idea how I'd go about adhering some of those flat wood cutouts to the cover of a fabric covered, and a regular hardback book, and also to the paper pages inside? Would wood glue be best, or would Elmers suffice, or would something else be better? Any help is appreciated. :)
