I ♥ Wordbooks

Good morning from me (Jackie), I hope you are all OK on this miserable and windy Sunday morning, it doesn't quite have the same ring to it as a 'bright and sunny Sunday morning' does it lol

The challenge this month was set by Lou and this is her remit
This months Get Funky Challenge is.....

WORDBOOKS

So it can be any word, any theme as long as it is a wordbook!! and..

As always you must use at least one Funky Hand product on your wordbook..:) 

(its an easy rule and not much of an ask.)

and here is my wordbook made with the Jingle Bells section of the Twelve Crafters Crafting cd (which is available from the Funky Hand web site www.funkyhand.com)

As you will see from the first page of my book, I have decided to use the book as a mini scrapbook as this is the style I sell most of and as it is quite bright, I have kept my pages very simple. I have done a picture 'how to' on my blog if you want to see how to make one for yourself with Anice's fab Funky Freebie download of a wordbook which can be found on the web site.

So you now have your free word book and my pictorial so what are you waiting for? We only have one teeny, tiny rule for you to stick to which is to please remember that you must use a Funky Hand product on your wordbook. If you don't have a blog then please don't worry, you can enter through our Facebook page. 

Thanks for looking and we look forward to seeing your wordbooks. :)

Wordbooks Galore!

Morning everyone, Ni here today and welcome to my post for the current Get Funky! Challenge set by Lou, and its a great one, Wordbooks!!
I LOVE Wordbooks, it was one of the things that first got me addicted to Funky Hand cd's years ago!
They are so versatile as my other funkette teamies have been showing you and today I am sharing a mini photo album idea.......

Don't forget that as well as letters Anice also adds numbers to the Wordbook collections, I love using them to make large cards for landmark birthdays like 18 and 21, especially for male cards which I always find a struggle! ;)

This album uses the newly released Santa Baby download. This download has fab and funky lively colourings and is my new favourite! Don't forget that you can buy this new release as just the papers, the wordbooks or the whole collection!

I have changed my printer settings to print two numbers per page of a4 to give me a mini album which I will use to record our family memories of Christmas Day this year.
For a different type of closure, (and as a bonus way of adding extra pages if you ever need them) I have cut a strip of blue card in a complimentary colour and used it as a back page and spine wrap, I gave it a scalloped edge using a punch and have inked in it a cyan ink to finish it off but you probably can't see that very well in the photo! I have only stuck everything together on the spine so that even the blue back page can be used for photos or journaling. :)

Well that's it from me, I hope you like my make, please join in with us and create your own Wordbooks, Anice has made a fab freebie alphabet set so all you need to do is stick them to strips of card if you don't already have a download or cd.

Thanks for stoping by today. Ni. X :)

Wordbook

Can't believe it's my turn again(Allison)  where are the weeks flying away to!
This months it's Lou's WORDBOOK challenge and I decided to make something a little bit different to the straighforward type of workd book using acetate.

I used the workspace in the Papercraft Factory Twelve Crafters Crafting CD and sized my SNOW letters on this then printed them off.  Measured the size of the letters then cut strips of acetate the same size. I stuck the letters on then positioned the pages and trimmed off the ends and joined them together with some ribbon- Printed off Let It Snow template from the writer and just finished it off with a snowflake.

To help you join in this month Anice is giving you a   Funky Freebie, because you must use a Funky Hand product to join in with us.

Come back in a couple of days for some more Wordbook inspiration

Thanks for joining in with us and good luck

Another Word Book!

Welcome to my turn (Ruth) to provide some inspiration for you for the fab challenge Lou has set this month which is:

Wordbooks

I've made this wordbook using the templates from Wishes and Kisses and based it on my new niece Amy who has changed a fair bit since I made it as she's nearly 7 months old now!  If you want to see the other pages just pop over to my blog!

I simply printed out the letters I required (you can change their colour too!) and then simply layered them up, adding embellishments and ribbons as I went.

If you've never made a wordbook before then you are in for a treat - they are really easy to do and I get a lot of requests to make them too! You can find a video of how to make them on the Funky Hand website. How to make a word book.  The Funky Freebie on offer on the Funky Hand website www.funkyhand.com for the duration of the challenge is an alphabet collection which you can print off and then make your own word book with the letters!

Don't forget that to enter our challenge you MUST use a Funky Hand product - good luck!

Mr & Mrs Wordbook

This month here at Get Funky the fabby dabby Lou has set the challenge of

WordBooks

I have made this one for a friend to give at a wedding.  I have used the easy peasy lemon squeezy wordbook tab on the Wishes and Kisses cd and the paper collection is Hello Baby.  For me the fact that you can personalise them so much is why I love wordbooks - you could have mr&mr or mrs&mrs if you need to, I bet those kinds of cards are hard to find! 

For those who don't have any of the Funky Hand cds or downloads Anice has made a fantastic Funky Freebie so you can still join in.  This month it is a set of letters so you can cut them out and add them to strips of card to make a wordbook.......simples.

As always the prize is the download of your choice, maybe if you've caught the Wordbook bug you can download one of the gorgeous wordbook downloads, there are plenty to choose from and even some Christmas ones (I know I know I'm sorry!!)

Please remember our 1 rule is to use a Funky Hand item on your wordbook

Can't wait to see your wordbooks

New Challenge...Wordbooks...

Phew!! its the 15th September already?!!! it must be time for a new challenge then peeps!!

And this month is a really good one and I think you will all enjoy it too because it is what drew me to Funky Hand in the first place all those years ago and Anice has made the most awesome FUNKY FREEBIE for you all to join in and you don't want to miss it!  
This months Get Funky Challenge is.....

WORDBOOKS

So it can be any word, any theme as long as it is a wordbook!! and..

As always you must use at least one Funky Hand product on your wordbook..:) 

(its an easy rule and not much of an ask.)

I used the Huge Funky Love download for this entire page. Its awesome because along with the gorgeous wordbook pages you get matching A4 papers too, I used those for the base of my page.

Its the best £4:59 I have ever spent.

Then using my corel paint shop pro x on the print layout page I opened and dragged in the wordbook pages I wanted onto an A4 size page layout. I love doing this because mini wordbooks are so much fun. I don't often use 'Word' for resizing but I guess it could do the same job really too. Did you spot it on the layout?! Here's a closer look at the pages...

I added on some little die cuts onto the patterned pages and have left the other sides plain for Mo, Scott and I to journal on when we feel ready.

There are so many ways that Anice's wordbook downloads can be used and I hope my scrap page of my little Mo and Holly has given you some inspiration on how to use them with a bit of a twist.
If you don't have any of the wordbook downloads or cd's with them on,our gorgeous Anice has created a Freebie for you with 4 pages of alphabet to help you join in, simply print them out and attach them to pages to make your own wordbook up. Click on the picture below to take you to the store to get the download!!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with because I love seeing the wordbooks in action.So get busy and add your make in with our little linky below! 

Have a great Saturday everyone :)

Hugs Lou xxx
