WIP: Altered Book Project #1

I approach my art mostly seriously, with an goal in mind and a standard that I strive for. Silly me! But that is how it is ... so there are times I do things for 'fun', and altered books as well as other arts and crafts are what do it for me! Years ago I taught various crafts which included 'memory books' which were altered books, but usually only few pages were altered so that it was more a display item. I've also done some scrapbooking/rubber stamp and many paper projects since then, too, as well as teaching. This past weekend I took the time to join in with an altered book project and thought I'd show you some of what I did there. It is a book that has been cut into a ♥ (heart) shape (when opened). I still have much to do on it. Hope you enjoy this... ~Jillian

I'm assuming you knew the jumping up and down and clapping my hands also meant "Wow! That's gorgeous!" -- ~ Debra ~ " ^v^ " (¯`(¯`(•_•)´¯)´¯) " ^v^ " Spidey & his batty friends gearing up for Halloween!

Jillian, thank you so much for bumping this thread. I thought I had read through everything but missed this somehow. I love doing paper work and altered books! Falcon
