Altered Book Saga

I am making an altered book for my journaling group. I get to keep it, but it will be passed around among our members for their eyes' delight...assuming it is delightful

I started with one of my kids' old board books. I primed and painted it, and now have started my base papers for my background.

I have the need to do my old stand-by collage. It is fun and not very taxing on the brain.

I have only done one other altered book, so I am new to this, but eager to learn!

Alot of my base papers and ephemera came from the gals at Snagging Stampers Yahoo! group. Without these gals, I would be creatively crippled. Thanks for the inspiring papers, Ladies!
