mixed paper book

I need another mini album around here like I need another hole in my head...but I am sincerely and simply addicted to them. So...one needs to make up needs for another book. Which for us list makers really isn't that hard. I was truly inspired by Elise Blaha and her mixed paper books. And being one to try and make something before I would ever think to go and buy it, I did just that...made my own. And I am soooooo loving this book.

And it truly is just what the title says, mixed paper and things I literally had on hand.

I used fabric to cover the front and the front inside. Using a chipboard piece, mine here is about 8x6, I painted it in Mod-Podge and then smoothed the fabric out on top. The edges were then pinked with my pinking sheers. The crop a dile was used for the holes, and then an addition of my go to book rings. A little label is still sitting there waiting for a title.....

Here's what the rest of it looks like:

I am using this one for a daily book of photos and journaling as we begin a new year of school. Only a few pages are completed. I am just adding to it as I go basically.

O.K...now it's your turn...grab those scraps hanging around your creative space and have fun.
