WOYWW 149 - celebration!

Hello everyone!

Before I show you mine, just in case you haven't heard of WOYWW, you'd best pop over to Julia's place and find out what all of this flashing the desk malarkey is about!

The desk -

So there's the finished altered box (top right), the Altered book I'm working on (bottom right) and then some of the papers I'm using to cover pages in the altered book!

Here's a closer look -

The box, top and side -

Inside -

Pretties -

Yes, I've used the torn bits of pages from my altered book to cover and decorate my box!

Here's the Altered book up close -

The front cover -

 The finished niche -

 The back cover -

Covered pages ready for me to add photos etc throughout the year -

I thought I'd used the British/red, white & blue theme for my book as it's to be used as a decoration in our family room which will have this colour scheme. Plus I want to keep pictures of me and my boy from 2012. I've chosen images of favourite places, things that I like, things that are on trend at this time etc so it will be a record of this year.

Oh nearly forgot, the button collection has grown - 

Couldn't resist the purple buttons that were sold in a little bag at the local haberdashery store!

Lastly, I want to share with you another piece of art that I have created that is also destined for the family room, a Zentangles page, drawn around mine and Keagan's (my boy!) initials -

Just a heads up to all you WOYWW-ers I've got blog candy on offer to celebrate reaching 100 followers and for actively posting for nearly a year now! You can find out about it HERE I'd love to see you all join in!

Take care Zo xx
