Altered Composition Book Swap Update!

I just wanted to share my book design I made for the altered Mini Composition Book Swap.  I think I kind of went overboard! But I had so much fun creating pages.  For most of the pages I used left over paper scraps.

Products used: Charms, rhinestones, paper bags, cardboard scraps handmade paper scraps, lace and ribbons. Also I used various rubber stamps for some of my designs.

Here is my parade of pictures.

New Book Trend! Jazzy Book Knobs

Use old knobs or handles to jazzy up your old books; knobs give your altered journals a sense of style, and that extra personality KICK!! Try it you’re like it.

Antique Markets and Flea Markets are normally the perfect place to find vintage knobs. Home Depot also has them but I prefer the old fashion or age dated ones.

Checks out these old readers digest books!

Also here are a few new books I jazzed up with knobs and handles.

Take an ordinary altered book and make it extraordinary!!

Stage One: Altered Journal Basic Steps

Working on an altered journal book, should be completed by the end of the week.  Wal-Mart has composition notebooks on sale.
