Anything But A Card At OSAAT

This week's challenge over at OSAAT is sponsored by http://glitterbabesartshop.blogspot.com/ and it's Anything but a card.  How fun is that?  We all got to pick one of Stef's stamps to work with.  I chose Hey Froggy of course!  I decided to alter a book. 
This is the front of the book.  I haven't added a sentiment, as I'm not sure what I will do with the book just yet.  I colored the digi in and mounted him on a stitching pattern I did up.  I inked all over that to give it an old worn look.  I used yellow and orange mulberry paper also.  
Now I flipped the book over..........but not the way you think!  Ever get a magazine that you read half one way and had to flip it over and upside down to read the rest from back to front?  Well that's sort of  what I did.  Again I used Hey Froggy.
Now this side was inked a little.  I mounted this digi on acetate.  It's amazing how a plain book went to this from this...........

Come on over to OSAAT and join in the challenge.  It'll be fun.  The winner gets 3 digi's of their choice from http://glitterbabesartshop.blogspot.com/.  Why not go take a peek at the digi's.........you know you want to!
