This is the cover for the altered journal that I made for Timi as my half of the swap through Life on the {Scrap} Beach. Check out the website (http:/thescrapbeach.ning.com/) & you'll find all sorts of fun options (swaps, RAKs, wish lists, etc). I'm participating in a Spring Tag Swap, Lace Swap & this Altered Journal Swap. It was so much fun to create --- I hope that she enjoys it ... The edge was covered with the Tim Holtz Paper Tape ... It does look like newsprint, but is actually distressed tape. I also used a technique that I'd seen online & wanted to try using pieces of tape, covered with Mod Podge & then added the mesh ribbon & a white prima flower that I had & inked with alcohol inks in colors I thought she'd like. There are more surprises inside, but I want her to have some surprises so I'm not showing them here.
Aren't we all On the Fence about something? Is it this job or the next one? This hobby or another one? This meal or an alternate one? My blog is about the choices that I make. Sometimes it's as simple as "what did I cook" & sometimes as complicated as "where am I going on my next trip".... Come along with me & see which side of the fence I'm on.

Kim, this is beautiful! Do you have photos of the inside? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteI didn't take photos of the inside. I think I did keep a list of the journaling prompts, though, because I had such fun thinking of them. My favorite was, "If I were going to write a fortune cookie message for my closest friend this is what it would say...."
