Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #13 - Worn Covers

Hello. Well I'm squeaking in under the wire with this project. What a couple of weeks it has been! Challenge #13 is all about using the Tim Holtz Worn Covers and altering them as shown on page 35 of A Compendium of Curiosities Vol. 3. You can check out all the details and the fabulous inspiration from the Curiosity Crew on the Studio L3 blog. I won't say play along for this challenge because you'd have to finish it in a few hours lol. However, tomorrow there will be a new challenge! ;-) For this one, Inspiration Emporium is the sponsor and have donated a $50 prize to spend in their store!

I created my cover for some friends who just got a little cottage up in the mountains. They are planning on having lots of family and friends use the cottage in the coming years and wanted to create a guest book to remember them all by. I made the elements (especially on the cover) very sturdy and was sure to firmly glue down all edges. The overlapping layers are built up underneath so there aren't loose edges that can catch and tear. (No pop up foam this time!) This book has to last.

On the inside covers I layered die cuts, embossed elements and ephemera. Again, I made sure everything was securely glued down!

I'm designing some pages for the guests to write on that will fill the binder. Thanks for looking! Be sure to go and check out all the cool entries that other people have done. There are some real beauties!
