Altered Composition Book

Happy Happy Sunday My Dear Sweet Friends -

It is a gloriously sunny day and I find myself wondering how many sunny days there will be left until winter strikes.  Ironically its not even Autumn (but getting closer) and I am thinking about the cold days of winter.  I think I need to take a seat on the back patio and enjoy the sunshine a little more today).

I thought it would be fun to share an altered composition book I made for a dear friend of mine.  We were on same online group but the site was shut down unexpectedly.  I am hoping this journal made it to its destination and she loved the comp book as much as I did creating it for her.  It's full of little pocket pages with various size tags,

For my next post I am going to post photos of the one she made for me and its GORGEOUS!!!

I have some exciting news coming soon and can't wait to share it.

Have a blessed week and thanks so much for visiting my blog!!

With hugs and smiles
Laine

    Oh, Laine, this is such a marvelous project! Love the lace you used for the tie closure and that crocheted doily is fabulous. Wonderful idea to add the pockets to various pages. Can't wait for the good news, my friend.

Pretty in Pink

Happy Happy Saturday My Dear Sweet Friends I've got my Fitztown DT hat on today and I am sharing an altered small composition I made using one of the gorgeous rose images from Fitztown . Here's how I make my altered composition books whether they are the large or small ones. I used a small file and lightly sanded the front & back of the book until all the shine is gone.  I added the cardstock to the front and back using glue. I used my bone folder to make sure the cardstock was adhered well. I used Copics to color the roses. Fussy cut out the roses and attached to the front of the composition book with glue. Used my bone folder to make sure the image was adhered well. Added a strand of faux pearls to the left side. This really is a quick and easy project.  I actually like to make several ahead of time to either give as RAK's or gifts to family, friends or co-workers. Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your feedback and comments....
