Jugs Challenge ...

Hi ... this is my second post today 
I have been out most of the day and suddenly realised that the challenge at  "Just Us Girls"  finishes in a few hours... and this challenge is right up my alley ... Alter A Notebook ... 
You all know how I love to make books!
Trouble is... it is dark here and having made my book ... I am really struggling to photograph it ... So I apologise now for the really poor quality photos ...


I made a hardback one this time using thick card and covering it it with papers from We R memory keepers ... 


This is a side view and you can see I added one of my handmade dangly charms ... and the reflection is from a clear creation from Making Memories


I also used a scrap of burlap, one of those pretty Narratives from Lynnda ... a heart I cut from cardboard and painted ... some lace ... a flower from Prima and some paper curls ... and the inside


 I make a new notebook for each new term of Philosophy ... this will be perfect come September ... I'm just sorry that the pictures are not so good ...
Before I go ... Happy Birthday to Pam Imholz  at JUGS who celebrates her birthday this week too
Have a lovely evening

Till soon
