We've been busy as usual around our house, so when Alicia approached me saying "Mom, I'm bored", I knew just what would keep her busy and tackle a scrappy projects at the same time! Ever since Just Cre8's Happy Be Scrappy crop back in May, I've been meaning to complete one of the tutorials that Jessi put together - her altered vintage book project. Unfortunately, I just haven't been able to find the time.
But then, almost like it was meant to be, the mall near our home was having a used book sale, so I bought an antique book that would be perfect for the project.
Shortly thereafter, Alicia approached me looking for something to do. Voila! I now have the cover painted for my project. Maybe not exactly the way I would have done it myself, but doesn't that just add to the charm! Now I just can't wait to get this awesome book finished.
You just have to check out Jessi's tutorial on the Just Cre8 forum here. Also, her personal blog is full of great ideas and inspiration, so check it out here!
My completed project will be posted sometime - maybe sometime soon, but probably later rather than sooner! Boredom is not all that common around our house! ;-)

Holly, I love how you go with the flow... Alicia will remember this project and how you cherished her artistic help!
Can't wait to see the finished project. Jessi's is so cool. I'm going to try one!!
Oh yes...I've heard those words "Mom, I'm bored' too. Alicia looks like she had a ton of fun helping you out.
