Altered Composition Book

This week I have been hard at work altering a composition book 
for a swap with the sensational scrappers of the west valley.  If you're in the Phoenix area look us up!!
It's a great bunch of crafters!
If you remember I had questioned what vintage was here.  Well, this is my answer.

So on to the eye candy...
Altered Composition book
The directions said to add at least 3 things to the cover... I think I did that and more just on the "vintage" section....
Scrabble letter embellishments
Love the twine!!  Can't wait for my box of goodies coming soon.. filled with twine for sure from the twinery.

Handmade "burn" flower

This beauty I made all from hand... Hopefully a tutorial will be coming soon! 
A super easy project you can do while watching tv even!

Handmade Envelope

The inside cover had a handmade "pocket" 



The directions also said that inside at least 25 pages should have some kind of "embellishment"
This sweet page has a simple sentiment.








I hope you love this book!  Feel free to email me if you have any questions about how I did any of the work...


What would you do

What is vintage??

Do a google search for Vintage and you will come up with about 100 different styles of what is vintage. 
The last few days I have been working on an altered composition book. 
The only parameters I was given is "Vintage please."

I was floundering... I had even turned to hubby for some help! 

Then as I was leaving Hobby Lobby tonight I saw this....


and I knew I would be doing something using this as my inspiration....

As much as I hate to leave you all in blog world waiting, I haven't even yet begun the altered composition book... so there will be no pictures of that listed here...

Just a little more eye candy from this beauty...
Which were all shot from my ipad in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby, and were slightly altered using instagram!  Enjoy




She's a beauty, and what inspiration for vintage...

What do you think is vintage??  If you had to alter a composition book what would you do??  No really, any ideas are welcome!
