…worked on the cover today - got out the paint, the sewing machine, acrylic flowers, modge podge, and brads.

Before:

Using acrylic paint…I added paint strokes to the acrylic cover - leaving it streaky so that I could see through to the title page:

Painted acrylic flower to add to the cover:

Glued the flower with mod podge and added it to the cover to make it shine:

Added a contrasting polka dot brad and a flower inside (traced from an acrylic flower onto Fancy Pants paper and highlighted the edges using a black sharpie:

Thought it was a little plain with the flower and since I love to stitch on things - added some stitching:

I may add more to the title page - quote, photo, or journaling - but, that’s it for now - nothing too fancy, but I like it!

Happy Mother’s day to all the mom’s out there - my boys want to have a big party today!

Oh, and I have to add these photos, too - some almost summertime fun - Pure joy of the outside sprinkler:
