Happy Wednesday!

Hello everyone! 

Barb Best here - today I decided to do something a little different.

 As I was digging through  my 'stash' I found this chipboard book.

 I love to alter things so I grabbed some of my double sided Graphic 45 paper 

and went to work. 

I covered each page with paper, then I cut around the edges and sanded 

with some sandpaper to distress it a little.

 For the cover I cut a square of red paper and stamped my favorite stamp

 'Sad Puppy' in black ink on the red paper. 

I colored him with my Prismascolor colored pencils.

 I just love how the dark colors make the other colors just pop! 

After I got done coloring and adding accents with a black glaze pen, I layered onto two different papers. I then adhered it to the front of the card. 

Then I took the stamp 'It's a dogs life' and masked the image. 

I stamped the first two words above the puppy.

 I then masked again and stamped the last two words under the puppy. 

I then enhanced the words with a glaze pen.

 I took a chipboard tag and colored it with Distress Ink. 

I wrote Harley's name with a Signo pen.

 I then added a layer of Glossy Accents to the tag. 

I added ribbons to the ring. 

This makes a cute little book to spotlight a cherished pet or 

what ever you choose to do with it!

 I will use this book to put photos of my dog Harley,

 who passed away last summer.

 A nice way to remember a special dog. 

Thanks for looking!
