Hello scrappy friends! Today I want to share with you a project I made this weekend at my local weekend crop! Since I am on 2 sketch design teams I thought it would be a good idea to alter a cheap chipboard binder [$2] that I got at Wal-Mart. I already have been using a binder to store my sketches in figured altering my own would be much more inspiring to use!
First off I painted the inside of the binder with Gesso and then with plain white acrylic paint. For the outside I used Prima's Romance Novel collection. To say I love Prima would be an understatement! I used Rangers matte medium to glue down the paper.
Decorating the cover was lots of fun, as I chose to use the other love of my scrappy life....Dusty Attic chippies! I used some of their hinges and leaves and large corner flourish. Lots of painting and inking and crackling going on here! I used Helmars Quick Dry glue.
Here is just a closer look at the decorating. Thanks so much for dropping by and seeing my latest work! Hope you all have a great week and be Blessed!
What a great idea to keep your sketches in, and it looks wonderful!
