The one about the altered book
I got a box of the Autumn Leaves' new book, The Foof-A-Life, earlier in the week! It was about time there was a book headed up by Teresa McFabulous! It was great working with her---hope we get to do it again! It was her idea to use seed packets to make a book.
Foof-A-Life is full of pretty things---even the cover is beautiful.
One of my favorite projects for the book was this small altered book that I made. Space was limited in Foof-A-Life and only one of the spreads, of like 24 spreads, was shown. So I am posting the whole altered book in my Flickr photostream. The pretty rubber stamp words and scrolls are from Purple Onion Designs. And who doesn't like showing pics of their kids??? That was the gratifying part of creating this altered book--using pics of my own. Now, I wasn't playing favorites by using more pics of my girls than my boys--it's just the girls are a lot more cooperative in the photo-taking department! My boys just run out of the room. LOL

Thanks so much for posting additional photo's. I got my book last week and your little altered book was probably one of my fav pieces in there (cause I love little books) and it was great to see the remaining photo's.
Just gorgeous.

Marilyn - this book is delicious! I'm heading over to flickr right now to drool over the rest of it.
Whatcha wanna bet that every page ends up in my faves? LOL!
Thanks for sharing all the extra pics of your amazing altered book and house with us. It's a dream come true to actually see an entire project that's featured in a book. Quick question regarding construction of the book ~ when you tipped the pages into the book, did you adhere one of those 1-inch page stubs to both the front and back of the page you were adding?
One of my favorite projects from the book too, Marilyn! It is gorgeous!!!
