Altered Sketch Binder

I've been meaning to do this for quite a while now, and when I saw that Queen of my Craftroom posted an altered project challenge, I knew this was the perfect opportunity. I have a binder that contains card sketches from all different types of sources (personal creations, blogs, books, etc) that I keep for when I suffer from "crafter's block" and need some sort of inspiration.

Last night (while watching the fifth season of Dexter, I finally got my hands on a copy!) I got around to altering my sketch binder. I forgot to take a before picture (oops) but basically it was a clear, plastic binder with the black border on the left-hand side.

I applied the patterned paper and then glued the purple paper on top. I bordered the purple paper with alternating blue, green and purple gems and then used chipboard letters for the title. I handmade the flowers by tracing some die cut flowers I have onto the color paper I wanted, and then applied the pearl adhesives once the flowers were finished.

I definitely had some fun with my iRock while making this!

I'm off to watch some more Dexter, I've worked 8 hour shifts the past two days and am completely exhausted. Have a great weekend and thanks for reading! :)
