I struggled a bit with this challenge because my favorite books lately have been murder mystery-Jonathon Kellerman's Alex Delaware psychologist who assists the detective Milo Sturgis of the LAPD. So, other than a scary Halloween theme, nothing was coming to mind. So, I just started building the base for the book frame. What a clever idea to interleave the accordion folded paper, Anita.
I wanted the cover to be able to withstand manipulation so I soaked the cardstock with the glycerin spray I remembered from the faux leather wallet tutorial. Embossed it and let it dry over night, still thinking, what kind of book am I going to make.
Tending toward the romantic, so I printed up a photo of my paternal grandparents and gave it a sepia tone. After I selected them the decorating was easy but still, what kind of book is this? So, I decided it would just be simple: "Our Family".
I hope my Teapotter sis enjoys genealogy. I included a brief story about my immigrant grandparents and how they met. If she wants to place a pic of her family inside, I also included an oval piece cut to the exact size so she can glue on her own family and put it on top of my grandparents, if she chooses.

I have already commented, but since I was the fortunate and blessed recipient of this amazing book card, I had to stop by again. This creation is so gorgeous. Amazing attention to details. The dried roses, pearls and all the lovely embellishments are just perfect. The book cover is soft yet sturdy. I love it! It's a keeper. I will cherish it. Thank you!!
