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!
everyone keeps talking about this workshop, it looks like tons of fun! What a great mini
