A few of my favorite things...









So, I have decided to post a project made with some of my recent favorites. An altered composition book using a tag and a paper flower. This was made as a birthday gift for my sister-in-law, Virginie. Walmart had composition books on sale for 25¢ for back-to-school. This was a very cost effective gift, but the recipient would never know that with how dressed up it looks.

Have a great day!

  2. I love this and what a great gift idea! I received an altered composition book as a gift and I use it all the time. I feel like I can leave it out on my counter because it is so pretty. I may have to stock up on these, too!
