The other book

Hi all!

If you follow my posts, you know that I made a bag book 

for my daughter's boyfriend, Jason, for his birthday.

I mentioned in the post about it that I had made a book that 

just was not him at all.

Well this is that book.  I do like it, but 

it just isn't right for him.

A couple of the pages are okay, but the others just don't

work for him.

I'm sure I'll add a few more touches to this one and will

find a good use for it.

This is the front and the back covers.

I love the paper I used for it, it actually has a bit of

glitter on it.  That's probably why it just isn't "right" for this guy.

I like to put a title of some kind on the front also,

I'll decide that when I decide what to do with this book.

I love the subtle colors on this page.

Here are the tags.....

....and the other side of the tags.

I loved how this page turned out!

This one suits a man better I think, at least the one

I was making it for.

The key on the tag has "24-7-365" stamped into it,

I wish I had more of that key, I love it!

I stamped the words and sponged Distress Ink onto the

edges of the tag.

I decided to do a little stamping on some of the pages.

I used a couple border stamps along the edges of this one.

Stamping isn't just for cards.

And my last page.......

It's a little hard to see the pattern that I fussy cut around

on the tag in this picture, but it really does look very nice.

So that's my "failure" that wasn't a failure at all.

I think this book turned out great, just not for the person

I planned to give it to.

Thanks for coming by today.

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Until next time,

don't give up when something isn't quite what you planned,

I'm sure it will work out in the end.
