I made an altered book last week for a silent auction that I went to on Friday night. Here are some of the pages in it:
This is the center of the book that I altered.
The is the left section of the book
This is the right section of the book.
This project was fun to do, messy at times but still fun. This is not a project to be done ‘the night before’ because it takes a while to paint all the pages with glue. This book had over 230 pages so it took about an hour of just gluing the pages together. I decided to section it out after I had an idea of what I wanted to put into the book. I don’t really have a name for it but it needs one. Here’s my solution to that….anyone that can give my book a name will win a year’s subscription to Family Fun magazine. I will warn you that it will probably take until the first of the year to get the subscription in the mail. I’m not doing the whole Mr. Linky thing so just leave a comment with ‘my books’ name’ in it and on December 6th I will announce a winner!
Thanks!

Your book looks really great! I’ve perused several books on the topic of altering books and think it would be fun to do…someday when I’m caught up on all the other projects around here…
Possible titles… The Quiet Place, or Decompression, or …
Oh, it turned out beautifully! Don’t enter me in the contest – I’m just here to say how much I like it!!
