Take 5 Project

I got up this morning feeling surly... a sure sign that I need to be creative!  So I picked a project that was sitting on my desk just waiting for my final touches:)

"Take 5" was inspired by a book and a keynote speaker at an event I attended.  The book, Five by Dan Zadra, is truly a "must read"!

It's a positive and affirming reminder that we need to live our lives to the fullest.

The speaker was Stacy Julian, a person I always find inspirational in life and creativity.  So without further ado, here's the project...

This began as a blank pre-made chipboard book with number extensions from the pages.

 

I used patterned papers* to cover the book, front and back of each page.  The numbers are actually stickers that were made to fit the extensions on the book.  

*The papers were Fancy Pants- Holly Jolly collection and Cross My Heart double-sided cardstock.

I'm sorry, I don't have the product names for the alphabet or number stickers.  There are journaling cards that match the papers and are from the same manufacturers.

I began this book at my event (mentioned above) in 2007.  Isn't it so cool that Stacy Julian signed it?!!

So I'm really proud to have finished this project... very satisfying!  Now I'm going to re-read the book!
