A PARENT'S WISH BOOK

This project started with a Maya Road 5" x 7"
Binder Book.

I did this book in a class taught by Candy at
Forever Memories a few weeks ago. It was so
much fun I would like to do another. Candy
selected the poem "A Parent's Wish" for this
project . The verses of the poem are displayed
on pages throughout the book. Most pages
feature pockets for inserting photos, mementos,
and other treasures.

Putting the book together consisted mostly of Tim
Holtz stuff: Distress inks, grunge board, masks and
embellishments. I used Brushed Cordurory and Wlanut
Stain inks. Some rubons that I had been hording
went so well with the poem that I added them here and
there. Vintage photos, and other goodies tucked
in the pockets were flea market finds.

I actually messed up on these pages. I got one of
the verses on the wrong page and had to add a couple
more pages to get the poem right. Sometimes a goof
can cause creativity {smile}.

A special thanks to Candy. She is so creative--and sharing.
I love hanging out with her. If you like my book at all--
YOU WOULD LOVE HERS!
