LESSology Challenge #1: Creative Projects of Angi Barrs and Julie Tucker-Wolek! :)

Today we are showing you creative projects from Angi Barrs and Julie Tucker-Wolek.

It's Angi here to say...YAY for our first LESSology Challenge!!!  I'm so happy that all of you altered art fans have supported our new venture. Now let's get to the fun...

I started out with this book about "Friendship"...

And then I turned it into this...

I've had this book for several years. Some of the pages are worn, so I decided to "re-do" some of them. Here are a few of the page makeovers. I used My Little Shoebox products for the majority of this project.

I cut out "Frienship" quotes from some of the worn pages and added them to my new pages.

On this page I even added a Bitty Bag and put a  "friendship" journal card inside.

Here's a close-up of the cover. Our first challenge is sponsored by Creative Charms. I've added one of their sparkly gradient gems to her hair. Love their products :)

Love this Prima flower and more MLS goodies.

I hope you all enjoyed my book makeover!

I can't wait to see your fun altered creations for this challenge.

 

Hi everyone :) It's Julie!

Here is my altered book for our very first challenge :)

I started off with this old book from my daughter ... she is potty trained now, so I knew it was safe to alter it up! :)

First I used gesso to cover all the pages up :) While the gesso was still wet, I added circles to the front and back covers with a bottle cap :)

Then I painted my pages :)

And while all the paint was drying, I misted and glittered some of the alphas I knew I would be using for this project :)

Once everything was dry, I put large doilies on each page and misted each page :)

And here is my final result! :)

I used a lot of different things from my stash on this book! :)  Some Bo Bunny, Echo Park, Prima flowers, Creative Imaginations, Websters, Making Memories, Sassafrass, flowers from Tessa's ETSY shop, a floral ribbon from a happy mail package from my friend Lena, and the BIG flower on the front cover I found on clearance at Michaels! :)

I hope you enjoyed my altered book! :)
