Welcome to the Memory Works Spring Fling Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Sheri's blog you are in the right place. The Teamworks Girls have been busy behind the scenes creating beautiful projects with some of their favorite products in our New Memory Works Spring/Summer Catalog. Make sure you stop at each blog along the way to check out all of the inspiration, and don't forget to leave a comment at each stop! One lucky reader will win a giveaway sponsored by Memory Works! The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win! You have until midnight on Thursday to leave your comments. I will also be having a giveaway on my blog. You can have two chances to win, one by being a follower of my blog or becoming one and your second chance will be by leaving a comment on my blog.For my project I chose to make an altered book from an old encyclopedia. Below is the book I started with and the following pictures are what I ended up with. This was really a fun project and it shows how versatile the products that MemoryWorks offers are. There are so many things to do with scrapbook supplies.
I painted the book with copper acrylic paint then added my decorations. I used the Bo Bunny Weekend Market line to create my altered book. I used Mod Podge to glue the pages together and as a protective coat on all surfaces. Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the "Hop"

Fabulous book make-over Cathie!
I love that you altered a book! What a great use of products~wonderful Cathie!
Hi, Cathie, am a long time follower of your great blog, and happy to leave some love here about your altered book! I love it! I feel you have respected the book by and its age by using vintage elements. I especially love that you "enhanced" the front inside cover! The sentiment "Get Lost in a Good Book" is wonderful advice! A great inspiration! Thanks for sharing! Well done, my friend!
