When I saw something on sale I'd grab it or something unusual. Then I decided on this book. I used a children's chipboard book and removed the top layer of paper on the pages. Then I chose the papers I wanted and cut to size and glued them to the chipboard pages. Then I sanded the edges and inked using Distress Inks. I think this particular book I used Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain ink colors. Then I added embellishments and some ribbons. All in all it took about 3 hours start to finish. <br /><br />As far as the leaves, what kind of leaves are they? Are they pressed/dried? You could collage them on a scrapbook page and add a photo of your Dad, or someone special and frame it. Or you could pick a leaf or two out and ink them up and use them as a stamp and customize your own page design. You could do alot with leaves. If they are very special though, I would go with a scrapbook page for display. Or you could glue them into a book similar to the one above and add your own theme, nature or memories etc. <br />Good luck! Be sure to post a picture when you finish so we can all see it! :)Chauntehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362063356435242744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938273492883918383.post-89291207299867311692010-07-18T23:32:55.861-05:002010-07-18T23:32:55.861-05:00Very nice!
