BITTEN BY THE LOVE BUG BLOG HOP & SSD-DT Valentine's Project- Altered Journal

Welcome to Creations with Becka and the Bitten By The Love Bug Blog Hop!

If you've come from visiting Amanda- http://www.myscrappinobsession.com/
you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to http://www.inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com/ and start at the beginning. We would love to share a few projects and ideas with a valentine theme with you!

Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, AND there will be some AWESOME ideas! So for this blog hop I made this altered journal.

So for this project I picked up this journal at Michael's in the dollar section, WOOHOO gotta love the dollar section.

So the 1st thing I did was inked the edge with the spiral so that I could cover the rest of the cover with paper.

This is CM paper and stickers from the LOVE paper album kit they make. These were the left overs from the kit.

For this project I used Martha Stewart Holiday Cake cartridge. I cut the images at 4". I used the Love/Valentines image. This is how I set up the paper for the cuts, but I ended up not using the brown paper. Instead of using the XO and Love sayings that were cut out I used the CM stickers.
