Altered Composition Books How-To

My friend Shelley made these and I thought I’d share them.  The composition books were bought at the dollar store.  The paper is from the Die Cuts With a View “Old  World” collection.  She covered the front, back, and inside covers.  She printed the flowers from Word clip art and chalked them with purple and green to match the papers then matted it with purple paper.  The ”notes” piece was printed in Word in purple shade and cut out deco scissors and matted on purple paper using the 3-D foam squares and attached to the front cover.  Added lace and flower ribbon up the side.  On the inside cover she attached a small vellum envelope for stamps or post-it notes in both books.  

Put the small one in your purse and use it to write down things you don’t want to forget (like me) or funny things your kids say so you don’t forget (like me!).  Aren’t they just the cutest?
