Just had the urge to do something PINK! I have been smelling the sweet scent of the flowers everywhere at present and thought a page on Roses would fit the bill for the Summer section of my Altered Book. (I dream away from the previous Olympic page!) I could only find one pair of rose pictures, so had to use other pink flowers aswell. Fortunately I found Sweet Peas and Stock, hmmmm the scent of those is divine. No fresias, but they don't really come in pink! (I do have 2 pots of them flowering in my garden at the moment). Oh and the Orchids, yes my Christmas Orchid has decided to flower again and it only just lost its last flower from Christmas, it is gorgeous so I have snuck a photo of that in too.
Oh and on the Altered Book front, I even remembered to use "dry" (Pritt) glue for the magazine pictures - horrah! I gessoed the pages (went to badminton!!) then inked with my new Summer Distress "Picked Raspberry" which I also stamped the flower boarder with. I (Pinflair) glued the embroidered flowers in place and popped a few dabs of Frosted Lace glitter glue inbetween the stamped boarder too. Now I need to comtemplate the "current " AB lesson! BJ

Gorgeous spread honey, what beautiful flowers, and yes I remember the scent of them, lovely.
So bright and cheerful to make me smile on such a dull and gloomy Cornish day, thank-you my lovely.

Yep that is PINK! You can almost smell the scent from the flowers.

Lovely pages BJ, loving the pink and the flowers are gorgeous too. Anne x
Your pages look divine and I wish I had some sweet smelling flowers on my balcony, need to rethink the flower choices for next summer! LOVE the picture of your Christmas orchid, just beautiful!! Humming along, and waving hi from the hot hills of North Carolina :)
I can tell what type of glue is your favorite. I'm glad to read that the magazine images didn't get all rippled like many of my pages did. Yours are fantastic. I also adore those embroidered flowers you added to the page. They were the perfect embellishments.
Sorry I've been gone. My computer took a turn for the worse, then I left town for the holiday. Not a good time to leave, I know.
