Antique Book Decorated with Rhapsody in Blue

Fun project decorating an antique poetry book with the beautiful Rhapsody in Blue papers from Shabby Art Boutique created exclusively for The Craft Room members. There are so many beautiful papers in this collection! I started with the envelopes and cards files not knowing exactly what I was going to make. Then I landed on this antique book that I have had for many years, waiting for me to figure out something unique to make with it. I have a video detailing the gathering of elements to decorate the book, and a video on the creation of the envelopes and the layered book topper made with them. This video is a flip through of the final project and how I envision using the book. I hope you will enjoy watching and be inspired to create! Thank you for watching!

Beautiful! So many gorgeous papers in this kit. I haven't pulled mine out yet but I've looked through it. I think this is the first kit Kerryanne has done in all blue.

Thank you! I really enjoyed working with the blue! Loved the designs!

I love your idea of decorating a poem book! I have a poem book that I can had planned to alter, but I liked reading the poems too much to tear out the pages. This has given me inspiration!

[@carolynspapertherapy]

Great! I’m so happy you are inspired! I just had the idea after I pulled the book out to decorate!
