I put these together with some of the ideas from the Elsiecake online class. I painted the cover images with acrylic paint and used Elsie's embroidery patterns as a template :]
I tore out the book pages and glued in vintage papers (all cut the same size). This notebook is for keeps :) Annnnnd I left the library sign-out card in the back. Love that :]
Once I fill up Macaroni Radio, this will be my next journal. I'm buying some white coverstock from Staples to re-page it and i'm good to go :]
Still working on this one...Needs a 2nd (and maybe 3rd coat) of red. It's for Keith :]
ps. I don't think I can sell these, they're Elsie's idea. Sorry.
Tomorrow's post is my 800th!
It is an illustration of a very lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely adorable! What type of glue did you use for the inside of the book?
ReplyDeletei use aleene's tacky glue whenever i need a wet glue :) and it helps to clip the pages together with alligator clips so that the edges are even. plus, i used a strip of felt between the pages and the book...with lots of glue :]
