Stamping A to Z: Altered Book
I was SO happy when I was asked to be a guest designer at the Stamping A to Z event on Two Peas. My letter is ‘X’, as in ‘X-acto knife’, a basic papercrafting tool. It was one of the very first tools that I bought and I use my x-acto knife on almost every project. I wanted to do something I hadn’t done before using an x-acto knife, and decided to do an altered book with two deep niches. The book was turned into a Christmas decoration. This is the inside. TFL!!
I posted step-by-step photos and lots of close ups on my blog: layersofink.blogspot.com/2011/11/stamping-to-z-altered-bo...
