Compendium of curiosities 3 - Challenge 13

Howdy all !!  The challenge for this round of CC3 is #35 - Worn Cover.  I've had one forever, but just never got it out ..  so once again this wonderful challenge has me using something I've had forever but just wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.   This forces me to get things out and just figure it out instead of looking at it and then putting it back with no ideas  :)

So I used some Tim Holtz paper for my background.   I added some walnut stain distress ink to the edges and then started layering emphemra, ribbon, remnant rubs and a flower I cut from his tattered floral garland sizzix die.

 

 

 



I used some of Tim's ribbon to secure the binder attachment inside .. I like that look much better than a brad  :)  

 

I didn't get too crazy with decorating the inside yet because I'm still not sure what my plan is for filling the binder with.   I probably will fill it with tags I do on Tim's blog each month, but still thinking about that.   So I'm sure once I decide I'll add some more to the cover and inside ..  I love the floral paper though, I wish I could remember the name of the mat stack that was from .. but it escapes me :)
