Altered Book -- Gardens

Here's my latest addition to a friend's book in an altered book swap. Her book's theme is Gardens. I decided to go old school, and I broke out my rubber stamps, glitter, and jewels. Sometimes the simple things work well. Her book is an old volume from a set of encyclopedias. I wish we still used those! I'd love it if my son had the experience of lying down on the living room carpet, pulling out a volume from the bookcase, and flipping the pages of an encyclopedia for an hour. What fun.

I love the altered book idea. How fun! I'd love to hear more about how you get this started. I miss encyclopedias too. I always used to try to read the whole set, but didn't get past A :) It's hard to cuddle up with a laptop the way you can with a book!
