I can't believe it's already April--the daffodils here are blooming like crazy, and it
finally feels like spring! For my first Altered Arts Magazine project this month,
how about a little spring-inspired book?
Okay, seriously, don't those binding tabs look like leather??? But they're not--it's
Grungeboard!
It even feels like leather, all inked up with Pink Grapefruit VersaMagic.
The image is from the Blockheads Grunge Collages set, stamped in VersaFine.
What? You use Grungeboard all the time? Well this is my first go--I'm very slow to
try anything new--remember me? I still use good ol' crayons on EVERYTHING!

| REALLY, it looks like leather in real life, too!!!! |
P.S. Just in case there is anyone else who is unfamiliar with grungeboard, it's kind
of like chipboard, only very flexible, inkable, and paintable--it doesn't come apart
in layers if you get it all inky, it doesn't break, and, as you can see from those
"leather" hinges, it doesn't crease, either. Fun stuff!

Those tabs really DO look like leather! Cute little book, I love those Spring-y colours.
I have some Grungeboard somewhere but have never used it - it's time to dig it out, I think!
