Altered Book Cover
by Sharon Jeffs
I regularly go through Journals in my profession, writing notes and planning the day to day activities that will enrich my class of learners. Because of this, I love nothing more than to decorate their boringly plain covers so that I at least have something pretty to work in.
My latest cover was created using papers from the Authentique Curiosity Collection. I began by adding a strip of the Studious paper to the right side then a strip of the Determined paper on the left after punching a border along its edge. I finished this off by adding a strip of lace along this border and a Prima Zipper pull.
To finish off my paper I stamped and cut out the "Tell me" quote from the Dyusions Quintessentials Quotes stamp set. I also stamped the Frantic Stamper Palmistry stamp and colored it in with a Distress Marker (antique linen) before adhering it to the top of my quote.
Finally, I cut out 3 of the square sections from the Authentique Learning paper and adhered them along the right side with paper flowers and crystal flourishes swirling between them.
I used the same papers to cover the back of my journal then stamped and colored the Frantic Stamper Candle and Book then adhered it to the back as a final touch.
this beautifully decorated! I love the word art on the front. That paper with the cursive is ADORABLE.
