This week's prompt was Adventure. Now Adventure is one of those words that can mean different things to different people. I did discover though that in the course of my research for this prompt that most people relate this to travel or something similar. I didn't want to look at this interpretation of the prompt as some of my other pages that touched on this and therefore I wanted to look at something different.
I did come across one quote that spoke to me as I am a bibliophile and it seemed to fit perfectly with the prompt.
The quote that I used was:
To You Its Just Another Book, But To Me Its A New Adventure
Materials:
Scrapberrrys Words Live Forever - 7th Street Library, Memos, Records
Ranger Vintage Photo Ink Pad
Ranger Archival Ink Pad - Black
J Herbin Violette Pensee Ink
Vintage Ephemra
Paper scraps
Indigoblu Script Stamp
Bobunny Stained Textures Stamp
Cut your sheet of 7th Street Library paper to fit the size of your journal.
Cut a strip of the Records paper that is one draw wide, then cut out the Due date and the index card elements from the Memos paper.
Distress around all of the edges of the Memo elements and edge with the Vintage photo.
Using the Stained Textures mug stamp, add some random distress staining to the cards to make them look older and worn. Add the quote to the index card using the purple ink.
Cut a strip of paper as high as you want your stack of books, in my case it was approx 8cm long by approx 2cm wide. This strip is going to act as the backbone for the stack of books.
Cut strips of your scrap papers in various widths and lengths and stick them to the backbone using double sided tape.
Using your remaining scraps cut some small strips to act as book bands and stick those on using High Tack double sided tape. Using the script stamp and the black archival stamp some text along the 'book' spines to act as titles.
Using a paintbrush, curve each book in the book stack to give the impression of a spine and dimension.
Stick down each of the elements down on the page using double sided tape, except for the book stack. Use foam pads on the books as this will help to preserve the dimension that you have created.

Good Bye Until Next Time
