Come & Join us at LESSology!
The Decorated Book Challenge
(Alter an old board book or an old dictionary. Or make one from scratch)
I started out with a book about "friendship"...
and turned it into this.
Some of the pages of this book were worn, so I did a "page makeover" using yummy My Little Shoebox products. Here are a couple of my fave pages...
This book is full of beautiful "friendship" quotes. I cut some of my faves from the worn pages and added them to the new ones. I also added fun twine and wooden clothespins.
Here's another page. I added an RRR Bitty Bag and tucked a journal card inside. The twine is from The Twinery.
I love the cover page. It actually makes me laugh because I used to wear my hair just like this when I was a little girl. :) And look at those cute Creative Charms gradient gems in her hair.

Your book turned out sooo cute Angi! I love your altered pages...you always do such FAB work Hun....TFS!!!!!
How cute is that! Love your altered book... you would chuckle if you could see what I used to do for my children 20 years ago.. I would just change the color of the hair to theirs by using markers and cross out names and place to personalize and they used to love it! Boy have times changed!
OMG! I love your altered book. What a great idea for a gift!
Great job as always!

I really want to play with you all over at Lessology; don't really have an old book to alter but I'm going to try to make and finish one. Don't know how it'll turn out and I know not as nice as all the others but it sounds like a fun challenge to do!
Hugs, my friend!
