My first Book Club book has come to a close. I had so much fun meeting with friends to discuss and commiserate! I was the first to pick the book and I chose a self help book "Women Food and god" by Geneen Roth. I have read the book over 5 times and listened to the audio book about 3 times. And, I still feel like I need to read it again and again to get the whole message. I am excited to hear what the next book is going to be, I hope it is a bit lighter in material :)
Because of the Book Club I got inspired again to pick up my altered book and create a few pages. Those pages are still in the works so I 'll have to show the outcome later. But, I made a couple of cards from the left over pages that I tore out of my altered art book. This is the first of three posts where I share what I created from book pages!
I have been altering the book, for the last 4 years, named "Miss Julia Takes Over". I picked it because of my name being in the title! LOL, Inside of each of these cards I punched my name out of the pages and glued it inside the cards! I hope the recipients get a little surprise & giggle from it!
Above, I used a SU Sizzix embossing folder and glittered the center of each flower. Tore the edge and under the tear punched the SU bird punch. I have been using my chalks a lot lately! Here I colored the bird with the SU chalks to add that little extra something! I love how it came out! The page map/ card map was inspired by a recent class I went to. It's really interesting to use card maps because things can come out so differently- but similarly!
I hope you like it and thanks for visiting!!
