good morning!
here's my manifesto page for my JYC book.
i printed out the manifesto like a photo and handled it that way. as you can see there are a lot of my current loves here. machine stitching, doily, chevrons, glassine paper and gray mist. it's a good start. i'm happy with it. :)
now, the other book...
i've got it going and i took photos today and readied them to be printed.
wanna see the cover?
i used the cool snowflake stencil in the merry & bright kit at cocoa daisy. misted it with the white studio calico mister huey that came in the merry & bright kit, too. i wanted more definition of the snowflake, so, i outlined it with a white pen. uniball signo. they are my favorite. added a pink snowflake a a little flair button from marcy penner.
oh, and i machine stitched the edges before gluing the paper to the super thick chipboard that came in the merry & bright kit.
only trouble i'm having, the mister huey is a little chalky and wants to rub off, like a chalkboard. any ideas for sealing it, out there? :)
alrightly, have a fabulous friday! i'm off to work, after i make some peppermint/white chocolate nibbles to take in.
peace, lovelies.
The glitter is awesome !!! I love it !!!

I sealed my page with Mod Podge and it seems to have worked, hope this helps and other people mentioned SuperSeal another blog but it can't be found in stock and someone else mentioned Krylon Preserve It, but I haven't tried that. I always love your projects and check daily. Have a great weekend Alissa!

Your cover is amazing! I know there was a thread on the SC The other day about sealing white Mr. Huey and the suggestion was to use Krylon. Can't wait to see the rest!
