Time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Anything Goes in a Card-free Zone (formerly known as The Outlawz Paper à la Mode) and the Optional theme is Books, Magazines, Newspapers! I was inspired by 'Books' and have chosen to go with an old book from a sale and turn it into a Horse Themed Journal/Picture Frame Combo. I'll be adding all sorts of treasures to the inside of this book as time goes by.
You can see the frame and decor of the cover in the video below!
Material List:
Old Book with cool page edges!

As You Like It: Fav Animal Horses are such peaceful animals, there's nothing more lovely than being in the barn come evening and listening to them munch hay. But they can also be full of exuberance and life running and playing in the pastures! They seem to take in your mood and reflect it; then they comfort! Amazing animals which is why I needed a journal to record my specials art, pics, writings, etc.
Night Owls: I Love... I love old books, embellishments, journaling, pictures, and horses!!
