First Yourstory Project - handmade journal

Hello! I just got a Yourstory Machine, and today I looked up a couple of tutorials on YouTube on how to make your own books - including covers - using a hot glue gun! SOOO in love with this idea!!! Anyway - I wanted to make something for a special friend, so I pulled out some paper, and my Unity stamps and came up with this:


Paper is from Basic Grey Out of Print collection. The background pattern stamp and the book image are from Unity Stamps. I added some bling with my Jolee's heat set tool, a little color with a Copic marker, used a Martha Stewart edge punch, and finished off with a bit of ribbon.

I am entering this in the Basic Grey weekly challenge to use stamps, and Unity Friends with Flair Friday - make sure and check that out and leave a comment for a chance to win some free Unity Stamps!!!
