Working in My Altered Book - Love of Sewing

I'm so upset, when I was making the video for this altered book piece,  I accidentally deleted the first two parts of the video, so now I don't have a video.  I'm totally bummed.  But, I have pics of the finished piece which you can see below.

Our Altered Book Challenge is finished

We decided to have some fun with altered books.  We each chose a hardcover book, and prepared it for swapping.  We glued 3 to 4 pages together in order to give the pages more stability, some of us made the first page in the books a "guest artist sign in" page and some of us decorated the covers, then we proceded to swap.  We were going to give each other 2 weeks before we swapped the books back and forth, but to our amazement, we were finished with all the books within 2 weeks.  I'll post those pics soon.  With this challenge we crossed over from scrapbooking to art journaling. That was alot of fun~! 

Now on to the next challenge, which I'm not sure what that will be yet.  Because we leave for a Scrapbook retreat in 4-1/2 weeks.  So we need to get ready for that. Maybe our challenge can be "how we packed for the retreat".  Wouldn't a you tube video of that be fun?

Update of our newest challenge!

Right now we're preparing some altered books (hardcover books) so that we can have a round robin in our group.  Should be interesting since we've never done anything like this before.  I'll keep you updated as to our progress.  It's going to be a scrapbooking, mixed media type project.  Can't wait to get started.  TTYS.
