"Olde Curiosity Shoppe" journal

This is what I have been working on for several weeks, not that it's that complicated to make just that life kept happening and wouldn't let me work as often as I wanted to .... I will use this as a photo/journal of some future event, therefore so many blank spots and mats/tags to add things to .... I enjoyed using the G45 metal butterflies by embossing them and using the Vintaj Patina system to color and age them ... of course Tim Holtz dies makes it easy to cut interesting things on the edges of pockets to add lots of visual interest ....  if you like the construction of this book you can easily make one just follow this link to my online classes for full instructions ... http://lindamanningfindley.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-have-had-request.html  .... hope you enjoy
