Try it on Tuesday: Alter it - Childhood Book



Alter it - Childhood Book

Did you have a favorite story growing up? Did you listen to Tales of monsters in the wood or sweet fairy tales of princess Happily Ever afters? What every your favorite stories as a child we would like you to use them to help inspire your next project. You can alter the actual book or create a altered piece of art representative of something from the story or how about a piece with an "altered ending to your story?"

This week is altered week which is so generously sponsored by our good friends over at:
The Craft Barn
*******
I made my project based on my absolute Favorite Children's Book:
Fredrick by Leo Lionni

It had also been made into a film:


My project is a 5" X 4 1/2" Blank Page Notebook.
I plan to use it as a Dream Journal.

Book is from Micheal's (markdown bin for $1!)
Mouse Stamp from Penny Black.
Cardstock, Inks and Markers from Stampin' Up!
Flowers from Prima.
Brads from Keepsake Crafts.
Lace from my vintage auction stash.
