Speaking of Sunday - last Sunday I was up before the rest of my sun-burned family and hit my craft room to try out something I had found when bloghopping the internet. I found this project over at Cinnaberry Suite and I think my little version turned out just dandy!
here is the link to Cinnaberry Suite's blog and this project.

I did not have an old book that I wished to use -- I'm already displaying most of my old books. So, I took a small book that I didn't want to get rid of, used craft paper to make a book cover; stamped some images on the craft paper. I had a narsty looking blue metal frame -- tossed the frame and kept the easel and glass. A little ribbon and tulle and a stamped, distressed tag and viola! The snapshot of my husband's parents on their wedding day is much more lovingly displayed.
I love this look! My photo collage is showing the front view (bottom and top - I couldn't get it all in to one view) then a partial side view showing the book and the back view. I only used a bit of adhesive to attache the easel to the book cover -- just to ensure there was no slippage. My arm is absolutely sore from patting myself on the back over how well this turned out! Bad me! I know.
