Would this be a good time to show of the next five pages (and six letters!) of the Eyelet Outlet Alphabetical Brad Book? Oh and I (Lauren) have made a cover for it too, but more about that in a minute. Meanwhile, here's Part Two:
As with the first set, these pages are ATC-sized
(2.5 x 3.5") and built on top of an older, incomplete deck of playing cards to which I've added not-quite-solid patterned papers in a variety of colors. The brads representing the letter G are:
Graduation Hat, a Giraffe from the
Jungle Mix, a flying Gull from our
Seagull Brads, all three varieties of
Grape and a glass of red from our
Wine Brads, and a
Gnome, who is on sale!
From the start, I knew I'd have to double up a few letters, because there just are not nearly as many I and J styles as there are in more frequently used letters like H, M and S. Throughout the project, I've taken a few liberties with names to get a better mix; so I've made sure to use the exact titles
and place direct links to make each brad style easy to find in the
EO Store!
On to the letter K: Kris Kringle is part of the
Santa and Mrs. Claus power couple,
Knitting Brads are one of my all-time faves
(and they're on sale!), our
Kitten Brads packs have three shapes and are divided into half white and half black, but I tend to save the latter for Halloween; Mr. Koala comes from the
Sloth and Koala set and Kitchenware is a bit of a cheat, since I combined items from the
Cooking Brads and
Baking Brads sets.
One of my favorite things about any minibook project is making the cover. I used a similar set of leatherette alphabet stickers, but in lower case, which are a bit smaller
(and I was out of uppercase B's!) Since I wanted the typed title to stand out, I didn't label each brad, but I did manage to work in nine styles, which are:
Antler Brads (I adore these and they're on sale), an
Apple and an
Ant;
Book Brads, a Butterfly Profile
(sadly out of print, but we have regular Butterfly Brads) and a Broom from the
Vacuum and Broom set; A
Classic Car, a
Cupcake (which is on sale) and a
Candy Corn Brad.
We're only halfway through the alphabet, so I'll be back in the next few weeks with the letters M through Z; meanwhile, whatever letter you need a brad for, I can assure you we have one at
Eyelet Outlet!
PS: If you'd like to see the letters A through F,
is really loving this project!
