Sassy Cheryl's Show Me #109

We awoke to -10 degree temperatures in Anchorage this morning.  If that wasn't enough fun for the day, when I went to get my car out the garage for church, the garage door was frozen.  Ugh!  DH had already left for work so I got to stay home all day.

Since I had a little extra stamping time today, I decided to put together an altered composition book.  My mom likes to use a journal when they take trips.  I recently bought this adorable camera embellishment at Mike's in the $2 bin.  So, I thought, why not make a travel journal?!

Here's the supplies that I used:

Here's the finished book:


Easy peasy!  After I glued the designer paper to the book, I trimmed and sanded the edges.  In all, it only took about 30 minutes to put together.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!  Now I have to get this in the mail so my Mom can use it on her next trip!


Don't forget to take a photo of what you've been up to recently.  It's easy to share with Sassy Cheryl and all of us "nosey" ladies.  Just include your link on the blog HERE.  You might even win one of Cheryl fabulous digital images.

What a nice idea! Love the result and I imagine your Mom will, too! :^)
Too bad about the garage--and those nasty low temps! I cannot handle the cold anymore. :^)
Hugs, Penny
Really nice journal! Love the papers & the camera embellishment. Your mother is sure to love it! Stay warm!
What a great journal Cynthia - An awesome choice of paper and the camera is a great find.
You could send a little of your cold down here - it was 30oC here in the my corner of the Antipodes today :-) Not used to temps like that.
