Book Cover Party over at Amys!!!!


I love Amy's BOOK COVER PARTY idea! I use book covers all of the time. They make a great canvas for my altered projects... I am so glad I finished this when she announced the party because I haven't been able to do another like I thought I would. And I'm sorry to say I have to make this short and sweet because I have to be somewhere...
so I will let the photos do the talking...
and I will visit again soon!
the next one is like cheating, you've already seen it, but the party inspired it so here it is again!
Have fun at the party!

Thanks for stopping by! Theresa xoxo

  4. Hi Theresa,
    I love your book cover creations. The clip on the first one with the tape measure detail is just perfect. I also like the little weight lifter statue with the picture you used.
    I'm glad you showed the 2nd one again....it's never cheating to post again....think of all the people who didn't see it the first time!

  7. Oh Theresa, it is too eerie on how our minds work.
    We just had decided a few days ago to dress brooklyn for halloween like a strong man, NO JOKE.
    complete with stick and balloons as his barbel!
    I love how you incorporate the measuring tapes into your artwork. The clip for hanging is my fav!
    I just love it all.
    Thanks so much for all of your support with this challenge, I loved your excitement from the get go.
    My day has been super busy, all good but super busy and I am just now sitting down enjoying a scone and coffee, yes it is almost 9 pm, but hey why not treat myself to blogging and a snack to end the day.
    XOXO

  10. Love Your Strong Man Art ~ is that little porcelain guy from the tea boxes? it looks like the little Rose Tea Critters..... I tried an exacto, well a Knock Off Exacto, after about the 30th pass, I went for the scissors.... I need to pick out the rest of the book covers to finish the a n y & the a y d ~ I figure if I do 2 each day, I will be down by Friday (the D will be the most difficult with the curve..... but will look great on My Wall! I am hoping for Rain Too, I thought I heard the faint rumblings of thunder awhile ago, but not sure.... Friday is ZOO day with My Grands & My Daughters, so I hope that is Perfect Weather! Have a Great Week ~ Here's to alittle Rain in Our Day!
