Howdy doody!
Something a bit different today...
an altered address book!!
The whole idea of this actually came from the stamp.... YEP, another one that I HAD to have, but then wasn't sure how to use... She actually has a book, and some scissors on the stamp, but I cut them off (it didnt hurt... honest!)
SO, I kept thinking.... book, and people... and eventually.... THIS happened...
I took the 'book' idea and cut a load of strips from an old book...
(being careful to omit any swear words... titter!)
stuck them all over the front of an existing address book I had...
I added a couple of bits of fabric at the opening...
The super gorgeous stamp is obviously one of the new gorjuss girls... I got her from Bunny Zoes
She's coloured with promarkers....
NOW the title....
I had the INGENIUS idea of trying to find all the words I wanted, within the same book I used to cover the front... Do you know how long it takes to find the word 'BOOK' inside a book??? you'd think it would be easy... right? NOPE!!! suggestion.... don't bother....LOL!!!
anyway, I got there in the end!
I added a strip of Kraft up the edge, cut with a binder punch, and plopped on some ranger enamel accents in black.
Tied some ribbon around the end, and added a star and key charm...
et voila!
Hope you like it, I have to say it was so much fun to make, and looks much better than it did before!!
I think I've got the urge to alter EVERYTHING now....
