An Eensy, Weensy Altered Journal


Recently, I went to Toys R Us and they were having major clearance sales. There were 2 party packages of 8 tiny notebooks that were 1 inch wide by 1 1/2 inch tall. I took out the wire, and then altered the outside, inside, the back side and inner back side. I made these for a Twilight swap I am in. I used Cat's Eye Distressing ink, DCWV Old World Stack, a copper skeleton key, and used my labeler to say: Key To My Heart. Then I rewired these little pieces. I plan on making leather ones next.

Twilight Cullen Crest Book Cover



For the Twilight Swap that I am in, I wanted to create unique items for my partner and she also likes the Cullen Family. I messed around with my photo/ Design imaging software to try and replicate the Cullen Family Crest. I apologize for the glare on the cover. I used the DCWV 12"x12" stack with the leather looking paper and cut it to the size of the book cover. Then, I applied modge podge on the plastic cover and then placed my Cullen Crest Design on it. Another layer of modge podge and sealer was applied. I plan on adding one more coat just to be safe. Inside this book I will include recipes, Twilight Trivia, Ideas for Twilight Parties, the Twinchies, and many other things. I am in the process of making a checker board with Twilight related cameos and squares that match the Twilight colors. Enjoy!
