This was made for Mark's Finest Papers Altered Legal Pad Blog Hop. I purchased my book out of the dollar bins at Michael's. I spray painted the cover with white and then distress edged with tea dye distressing ink. My image is from Mark's Finest Papers called Christmas in the Country. I did this church in brown shadings and made the windows look like stained glass. The following tools were used to create this project:
Spellbinders- Nestabilities Large Oval and Scalloped Oval. Snowflake 2.
Cuttlebug - Snowflake Embossing Folder
Martha Stewart - Holly punch around the page, Branch Punch
Rhinestones, Glitter, Snow Writer, and Stickles
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you taking a look.

YOu do a wonderful job with that church - it looks wonderful in these colors. If I tried to spraypaint a book, it would be a giant mess! I love how you distressed the book too and made it look so good. You sure know how to make something that cost $1 look like it cost $20!!!!!! Hugz!

Carol, this is so AMAZING I don't know what to say. Do I start all my comments that way? I happen to know how beautiful this is IRL if you catch my drift. I can't even imagine making a notebook this beautiful in a million years. You are so incredibly talented and I feel honored to have met you and go along for the ride in your magical cards!
