Mini Album!


I am creating little notebooks lately to give away. LOVE doing that!  I've been into bookmaking for a long time now, especially restoring old books, giving them a new jacket for instance. ... and I still enjoy it, also because I can use these covers as a canvas :) ... It makes it a personal note book, and with the elastic band it looks so much more 'professional' ! Had to figure out how to do that pretty invisible on the insides of the covers. I think it turned out great. Not perfect, but hand-made should not be perfect, hehe

I've been playing with structure paste and stamping  (Magenta) ... and stencils and Coloration sprays from Art Anthology on these covers ! 


Hope you like it!!
