my altered book- a work in progress

**Missy** · 01-25-2006, 08:06 PM

Mind you, this isn't done. even the pages I am showing have work yet to be done.

and this isn't the only example of an altered book. they are usually quite artistic and very very creative. I just took the idea and ...well, altered it...to fit my scrapping project to show the family vacation we too a while back to Maine.

Here's what I did to the map that was already in the front... I glittered it up, added waves, stickers etc...

and this is the page I did about Cadalliac Mountain. the book mark is secured to the book and has the journalling on it...instead of on the page.
