This book is called a Flag Book. My inspiration came from a magazine called “Craft Stamper, June 2010 issue which is published in the UK. I was at Barnes and Noble the other day and picked up this card magazine and started looking through it. I came across the Flag book by Willy Anderson (pages 16-18) and decided that I liked her book idea. I read how she put it together and decided that I could do the same thing, but with different stamps. I told myself that this would be a good bookmaking technique for the Hero Arts Challenge that is currently going on this month. (All the stamps that I used are listed above.) There are 9 tags inside the book and I stamped and distressed each tag on the front and on the back I sent a sentiment and distressed over the sentiment. The technique that I used for the cover was inspired by Jill Foster.
I have a friend that is moving out of state and I wanted to make something special for her. This flag book is the perfect gift for her.
