The Little Twinchies Book

I was reading Neet's Artful Times challenge for this week and decided to give it a go because though I have done inchies in the past, I have never made twinchies!  So what is a girl to do? She makes a little itty bitty twinchies book!

Techhnically, the cover doesn't count, because they are just over the 2 inch mark... and I decorated the spine  with a chippy pocket watch and little glass bottle instead of the front cover because with the hidden hinge binding it gives a broad spine to work with.

but all the pages are 2 inches square... so 12 twinchies in all!

and this is one of my favourite themes and songs: Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce

and yes, the lyrics are all there... in size 5 font! ;)

If I could save time in a bottle

the first thing that I'd like to do

is to save every day

til eternity passes away

just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever

if words could make wishes come true

I'd save every day like a treasure and then

again, I would spend them with you

but there never seems to be enough time

to do the things you want to do

once you find them

I've looked around enough to know

that your the one I want to go

through time with

if I had a box just for wishes

and dreams that had never come true

the box would be empty

except for the memory

of how they were answered by you

but there never seems to be enough time

to do the things you want to do

once you find them

I've looked around enough to know

that your the one I want to go

through time with

The pages are little pockets which hold tags...

cardstock tags with transparencies coloured with alcohol inks

which swivel back to reveal journaling space beneath

the transparencies were embossed with Tim Holtz pocket watches folder before I alcohol inked them.

and just to keep them tidy, I added smaller tags on the backs with patterned papers.

Used lots of time emphemera and stamps and the papers are Fancy Pants It's the little things 6 x 6 pad which were perfect for this teeny size book.

I had a great time playing with this challenge!
