I have joined a swap over on UKStampers where the very talented and generous Sid sent 15 challengees two chunky puzzle pieces to alter.
Well I love altered art and got straight to work! When I say straight I don't actually mean straight to work ... I looked at them for about a week first!
NO! - I still have n't cleared my desk! [Well you all gave such wonderful encouragement to leave it ... I have!!! And just added more!!!]
Anyways enough of me ... I painted the pieces with yummy Pebbles Inc Barn Red and then stamped over them in black with Wendy Vecchi's gingham stamp.
In fact I used that stamp on pretty much everything ... even the die cut flowers on the cover! Don't worry it's a phase ... it will pass! I know because about 5 years ago when gingham paper was en trend ... I used that on everything for ages ... eventually I moved on!
Finally I decorated all the pages with the letters D-R-E-A-M ... purely so I could enter this for the Wednesday Stamper challenge as well and I used Grungeboard die cut letters for another DT submission so that it about three birds killed and no stones ... Just an ickle mini altered puzzle bind-it-all book!
N.B Please note that no animals were really harmed in the making of this book :0)

Absolutely beautiful! :)
I know what you mean about the gingham stamp. I have Cornish Heritage's gingham stamp, and though I haven't used it yet, I know it will be used a LOT! :)
