RR-My First-

Well, I guess I did do one other... a Wreck My Journal one last year.  But, this is really a new activity for me.

Over in the sketch book project group, the moderator started a swap with some folders she found somewhere.  She sent everyone that signed up for the RR one to decorate.   The RR is a Marie Antoinette theme.  We are binding pages into the folder so we will have a little book with lots of Marie inspired art!  I just finished my cover on the out side.  It started with a gold embossed gold colored fabric.  I then found this lace medallion and I mounted the small picture of Marie behind the oval, and sewed that on to the fabric.  I went around the edge of the page with some gold trim.  Then I added the white scalloped lace.  Next came the metallic and red trim, the vintage beaded bow, and lastly the buttons for latching it.  Now, I have to do a pocket page on the inside of this front flap.  Pocket so "stuff" can be stuffed into it, lol.

I shopped the thrift shops and everywhere I went on my trip... (did you miss me?) for embellishments that I could use on this RR.  I found fabrics, books, trims, etc.  I think I will make some Marie paper dolls for the pockets.  Or maybe not.  LOL.  Depends on the time factor, ya know?
