I started cutting a niche in the inside pages. I used a sharp exacto knife and a metal blade ruler to start.
Once you have a few pages cut, you won't need the ruler, because the previous pages will act as a guide. I cut about 1/4 inch deep.
I then covered the facing page with some old text pages from a vintage mini book and glued all the pages together with a glue stick.
I stamped an embellishment using one of the stamps from Tattered Angels, Flowering Vine line.
I made a mold with Sculpey clay from a very small frozen charlotte. I glazed her to give her a polished finished and glued her into the niche. I added some bling, lace, small piece of black paper with numbers and a burgundy paper flower. A small bow was added to the opposite page. Now, that's the smallest altered book I've seen...makes me want to find more of these mini books.
I also wanted to share this great book of vintage children stickers I found. It has lots of very small images that are really cute. Although they have this white boarder, you can cut that off and use for your projects.
I made this quick little note card with one of them and a K&Co dimensional sticker.
Cute, Cute, Cute!!!!
