Tiny Books & Altered Cards

 I have seen a lot of cute little altered books made to be a necklace , loved them & decided to make my own !! I have always thought it would be great to have some special quote or verse in a handy little book ! I used grunge paper for the cover and the inside papers I used images from Altered Pages that look like vintage pages to give an interesting background for your notes & quotes !! On the covers I also used images from Altered Pages and covered them with clear embossing to make the a little more sturdy !

The edges of the book pages and the cover have been distressed to give a more tattered look , so it looks like it's been around for a long time & had lots of love !

I also finished my Altered Bingo Cards for a swap I am doing over at the Yahoo group for Altered Pages , you can click on this link to join in on all the fun !!

Bingo cards were created using  images and papers from Altered Pages , some of the papers are the Glitz papers which I think are fabulous and can be found here ! 

Off to finish working on more projects ! Have a blessed & creative day !

Delight

I have been busy doing a lot of paper crafting , this banner is a distressed look with vintage book pages for the folded flowers. Spelling out DELIGHT , I love that word ! Hanging it would be a wonderful reminder of what a delight it is to have such a blessed life, or as a reminder we should be a delight in others lives! I will be listing this banner in my Etsy shop hopefully this evening when I get time !

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4

I have been gathering up some books to read and study . I have already started on Psalms 91 , an awesome book for anyone to read ! I do have to admit that I am a "bookaholic" . But these I hope to get through in Jan and Feb .

And in my quest to eat better I also have some "food" books to pour over ! Last year I tried my hardest to buy organic foods & I also had a garden, in order to eat healthy.... I said .... I tried. I still have room for improvement , but I am determined to be more responsible even when I purchase things to think twice as to where it came from , I would rather buy handmade and support someone in there efforts than a big corporation or shipped here from who knows where . Hope your week is fabulous and blessed ! Leave you with some cards I also created.

Book Addiction!

Need I say more ? Yes , I have a book addiction and I realized the other day the I really need to do something about it ! I love fabric , paper and books ( magazines to , are they considered in the book category?) !! I am sure some of you can relate , being able to have that adorable piece of fabric to have on hand to enjoy or that new line of paper that just came out !!! Anyone else ??? Or am I the only one?

I decided that I need to part with some books so I will list some on Etsy , and if any one out there & you see a book you would love to have just email me !! There is a link on my sidebar . Contact me through my blog and they are $5.00 each plus shipping. Will do book rate if you would like to keep costs down or if they can fit in a flat rate box for several , will do that !!

Have a fabulous and creative day !!
