Last Friday of August....how did we get to September already?! Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday challenge this week is "Office Supplies". I know its back to school for my friends in the States so this challenge is a perfect time to repurpose those items for some crafty fun.
I found this binder in my mom's garage sale pile and knew it would be perfect for a project. Aden had been asking me to make a book with his "model" poses and this binder was just right. Aden is such a character. This book will be an ongoing project for awhile. As long as he is giving me model poses, I'll be taking photos. :)
I used patterned paper, twine, doily, tags, buttons, and a wooden boy for the front cover.
On the in covers, I inked it with distress ink and added some embellishments. On the back cover, someone has done a math problem. Just made me smile to see it there.
A few of the pages.....
Aden's personality just cracks me up. This book is going to be a fun one now and to look back on. Hope he never loses this personality. :)
Many more pages to come. :)
Hope you will join us at Frosted Designs for this week's challenge "Office Supplies". Make sure you link up your projects to the blog for the chance to win a great prize and so I can check them out.
Happy Crafting! :)
