Everyone is in LOVE with smash books (me included), but every time I see one in the store I’m like “I can make that!!!” Of course I say that all the time and never follow through BUT today is the exception. So here is the start of my smash book of quotes. I love quotes and am always looking to them to add that extra something to my layouts, or for a great card.
CoverBeing one not to waste, the paper flowers were made from the pages inside the book.
Prima: Pattern Paper, stamp, flower, and chipboard; Pink paislee: tag; Ek Success:paper punch
Inside
I wanted it to still look like it was a book so I just painted over the words…I like how you can still see some of it in the background.
Prima: paper bird, Smooch Spritz: mist, Stampin'up: tap punch
Pullout page
Now I have to say this book would have probably never have come to be if not for the extra motivation from LESSology (challenge #1: The altered book challenge). Ok here is my WARNING the book I altered is really really gross…..
Nasty right, It was my oldest sons readind pick, but it turned out looking pretty in the end!!! This is also for Scrapbookers Anonymous birthday mini challenge “journal only” … stop by and help them celebrate their birthday.
