Graphic 45 Harry Potter Mashup

If the sorting hat were placed upon my head the last house I would be put into would be Slytherin. Most silly quiz results put me in Hufflepuff. (Not sure how I feel about that either but I'll take it.) But as soon as I saw this paper, Play Ball from Good Ol' Sport ...


... I immediately saw quidditch team colours for the serpenty Hogwarts house and HAD to make something Slythernish. (Slytherinesque? Slytherinny?)

I'm pretty sure that almost every Slytherin student would have a sneaky false book to hide things in. Using the new staples Book Box from Graphic 45 and papers from the Good Ol' Sport and Steampunk Spells collections I've done just that!




Each of those gears and cut out pieces on the cover are laser cuts from Gina's Designs.


Inside are magical bits and pieces tucked away for safe keeping.



A captured winged key made with Graphic 45 Staples


A bottle of Death Microbes... because it is Slytherin house afterall.


A box of owl treats


And a little reminder to support the house team!

 

Not being a sports inclined person at all, I'm pretty pleased that I was able to find a sporty use for Good Ol' Sport. And don't you dare say quidditch isn't a real sport! (Muggle!)

  1. Your wonderful project and the mandrake reminded me of one of my favorite lines from the Potter books:when asked how you could tell if the mandrakes had entered the adolescent stage,Prof.Sprout said one could tell because they would become sullen and secretive.

  2. This is such an awesome project. What a fabulous use for this gorgeous paper line. The secret stash inside is delightfully Slytherinish. Thanks for the smile...and yes, quidditch is most definitely a sport.
