I often see something I am inspired by and decide I will have a go.... but then put off doing it and forget about what I intended to create. I saw a video on you tube ages ago... on how to make a Squash book and although I put the pages together I put the incomplete booklet aside and did nothing with it. Until today that is...when I came across it quite by accident and decided it should be finished :D
So this is the front page of my Squash book which is about 4inches square and like the rest of the pages was covered in Fired Brick Distress ink...yummy....
topped with a handmade rose smothered in glossy accents (cos I hadn't any stickles left) and some freebie vintage paper from The Vintage Moth and one of my favourite quotes.
The inside of my book was covered with more of the vintage paper and this is where my part in the SCD challenge ... The letter 'D' comes into play with one of my favourite words... DREAM cos where would we be without one :D
Thanks for looking...have a great day
hugs

This is so clever Chris and looks great. I have a small notebook that I carry with me everywhere and I add bits and piecs which inspire me to it to refer too later - its the only thing about my art-making that it is in the least bit organised! I love the glossy accents used on your rose here - they look like dewdrops caught in time! x
This is so effective, Chris. I'm glad you dug out your squash book to finish it and let us see. The rose is so pretty and what a pretty way to send a special message. Keep dreaming! :)
