Midway reminder for Simply Magnolia DT

Hi everyone,

I have some midway inspiration for

 Simply Magnolia

 today........an altered address book. The challenge is

 'Anything but a card'

 and as usual I couldn't make up my mind what to make - the problem being too much choice! I'm dreadful at making decisions and so not only do I take quite a lot of time making something by faffing with the design and details but this time I also had the added dilemma of would it be a bookmark, tag, or box. In the end I decided to alter an address book, so it was none of the things I originally had in mind lol!

This is what it started out looking like....

and this is what it has become....

The address book had a beautiful flower on the front and as I didn't want to completely cover it up, I decided to do a scrapbooking type of alteration and tried to keep it to a minimum to compliment the flower in the background.

I used stickles and pearl pen to enhance the flower on the address book

Supplies:

Magnolia Aries Zodiac Tilda (coloured with DI's)  finished with pearl pen, machine stitched edges and Magnolia postmark stamp

Spellbinders labels twenty three

red paper - Basic Grey, green checked paper - Magnolia

Magnolia doohickey orchid, leaf and tag

lace, bead string, gems, doily and dragonfly charm from my stash
