So, for 
Amy Tan's workshop, she's challenging us to decorate our pages in the books we made.  When I first put the book together, I just kinda went with it without a real plan.  This was really hard for me because I almost always have to have some sort of a plan when I start creating.  For this book, I just jumped in without thinking, which was refreshing!  I decided to use this book for things that I love.  Just random stuff that makes me happy.  I have another mini similar to this, which you can see 
here.  But this one will be more decorative.  I used fabric and some scrap paper in the book.  I love the way the pages turned out and I was able to cover up some of the backs of the paper, which was white.  I don't have too many double sided papers, so most of the pages in here have white backs, which makes white paper that needs to be colored up!  Here's what I did today:
  | 
| Updated the cover a bit to reflect what the book is about. | 
  | 
| Sewed some scrap fabric right into the book. | 
  | 
| Close up of the stamp and journaling. | 
  | 
| Used scrap paper and washi tape on this one.  I even used the price sticker from my recent washi tape purchase.  I love the Japanese writing on it! | 
Thanks for looking!
