ANYTHING BUT A CARD AT BUGABOO STAMPS 'CATCH THE BUG' BLOG

It's Monday again, and I would like to share with you a non-card project using Bugaboo Stamps.

This is a little 'GET WELL' messages booklet for my brother, Ron, who had major back surgery last Friday.

This is the 'cover' of the booklet which I made from the hard board that came with one of my 12 x 12 paper packs.  I covered it with DP, inked the edges and added a Bugaboo image called Occupation - bear - nurse on an oval diecut.  The inside of the booklet has a few pages, all with Bugaboo images and sentiments:


The first page :

Image : Stella Nursing ICU

Second page : 


Image : Nurse Margaret - Nice Nurse

Third page :


Image : Sassy Gal Nurse

Last page :


Image : Stella Nursing - Hospital Food

It was fun working out how to put it all together - I didn't have a template and sort of made it up as I went along.  
I added a satin ribbon to tie the book closed.

I gave it to him last night but he was far too groggy from his pain meds to open it - perhaps he will have seen it by the time I visit him this afternoon.
