As I said yesterday I was finishing up a project and so I did, and it's my project share for today. I've been wanting to alter a composition book I've had for a while as a gift for someone special but I've just recently gotten the time. Now that it's done my problem is that I'm so excited about it I'm not sure I'll be able to hold it until Christmas -- sometimes I think I get more excited about giving a special gift than the person who's to receive it and I want to give it immediately, lol! Anyway, here it is:
(Click on pictures for a closer look)
At the last minute I decided to do a little something to the inside page and decided a pocket would be nice:
I didn't realize how dried my ink pad was until I stamped the "Remember the Moments" but that's okay because to me it gives it a kind of weathered, antique look.
I followed through with the lace on the back of the book to give it too a finished look (at least, that's my opinion... lol!):
You probably can't see all the detail but, along with the painting and crackling, I put a lot of love into this book and I'm happy with how it came out.
My last few months have been so hectic that "wow", surprisingly nothing time-robbing has come up yet which means I have more available time so... YEP! I'm off to craft and visit!!! Heeee-heeee, can you tell I'm in my element right now?!!!
I'll be seeing you...

This came out so pretty! It has such great dimension and elegance. I would be too scared to use it and would display it in a stand instead! *LOL* I get really paranoid about ruining pretty things :)
