Altered Book - Bombshell Style

Well those of you that know me in "Stamp-land" may not know that I love making altered books!!

So when the Bombshell Challenge by Ms. March was put up.....I was so excited!

CHECK IT OUT HERE !

The Challenge is called "Booty Log"

and you need to make some sort of altered book, journal, etc..

I decided that I needed a way to catalog my Bombshell Stamps....so I made an altered book catalog.

It is not done, but I wanted to share what I have done so far!!  Keep in mind the pages need a lot more coloring,
embellishments and work!

I started with a great book from the 1920s that had seen better days.

First step.... reinforce the sad spine (it is kind of like mine...hahaha)

Then I glued the pages together and painted the pages white. 

One thing I like to do is look for words on the text that fit with what I am doing and make sure not to paint over them.  This book happened to work well!  I also left the pages with pictures. 

The book was made into a movie in the 20s, and there are pictures from it.

I am waiting for the Bombshell Angel stamps set, and I will stamp the cover with the word "Bombshell" from that set.  It will read " Secrets of a Bombshell Addict "

So, here are some preliminary pics!!
