This is my first Altered Pocket Book made at the art retreat last weekend. Started with a children's book to give it a 2nd Time Around to hold photos, vintage tags, or whatever my heart might desire. And I'm pretty sure Ruby Tuesday would love Max's red coat.LaVerne, our talented teacher provided dictionary pages, sheets of music, various stamps and ink pads, and an assortment of embellishments to fuel our own style and creativity.

Here it is ready for me to fill the pockets.
I said this was my first because I loved letting my imagination run wild and so, can't wait to make another and another and another. Wedding or Anniversary theme, Birthday theme, Christmas...
New friends...Doris, her daughter Laura from Tennessee,me & our teacher LaVerne.
SHOUT OUT TO LAURA, LUVYA GIRL!

Candy, your book looks great!!! I always cover the original, but I'm inspired by the way you left parts showing here and there...thanks for taking the class. LaVerne

Hi Candy-
that looks like it was so much fun!
I would love to go sometime but truth be told, I haven't done paper art since the age of collages.
Maybe I will get my nerve up!
