Mema's Crafts: Challenge #3 Animals Gone Wild

This is my final entry for  Mema's challenges on www.memascrafts.blogspot.com.  I hope I can use it in other challenges.

I decided to use wild animals as my creatures to showcase.

 First I got a $1.00 composition book (I always keep these on hand)


 
 
Then I selected the Designer paper I wanted for the cover of the book.  I chose DCWV's  Safari Chic stack.  The papers are gorgeous in this collection.


After I covered my book, I then started making my embellishments.  To keep the Safari theme, I chose  Hemp twine to thread the edges of the added paper.




I then finished it off with the added embellishments you see in the photo. 

 
I think it turned out pretty nice.  What do you think?  This is going to be a Christmas gift for someone.  I'm giving handmade gifts to everyone this year.

  Now let me go and see what other challenges  I can enter this in.  If you know of any, let me know.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Edie, Followed you from the Outlawz blog. I see you are a 'former' quilter too! I have tons of fabric, and keep trying to think of ways to incorporate some of it into cardmaking! Love what you did with the composition book. I just do cards, not this fantastic work like you have here. I just saw that DCWV paper this afternoon, and wondered "What on earth would I use it for?". Well, you surely showed it to best use! Lovely project, & you did a great job with it. Someone is getting a super Christmas gift. tnx for sharing. I joined as a follower here, and hope you will come visit me as well when you have time. See you soon I hope.
