My first altered book

Good morning! I would love to share my first ever book that I have altered the inside of! I have altered several journal and book covers, but have never done anything with the pages. I was so inspired by this month's challenge at Eclectic Paperie.   I am first sharing my cover as part of my design team project for Scrapping4FunChallenges.  This time, we would like you to use some lace and buttons on your creation. Here is my cover:

This is how the book started out:

I first covered it in gesso, then added some rubber stamps for texture (Not with ink but just for the impression).

I then added some fussy cut paper, lace, buttons etc.  I made a bookmark out of twine and metal embellishments. I watched the video on the EP blog and it was very helpful! I tore out some pages of the book and glued the remaining into bunches of 3 or 4, then gessoed.  The book has some really cool images that I wanted to keep, so I glued/gessoed around them, working them into my first two altered pages.

 Here is the first page:

II already posted these two altered pages in previous blog posts, so this is just kind of a reminder of what they looked like.  I am creating my own book of fairy tales, each page will tell a different story.  Here is a look at the second page:

I had so much fun creating this book and I'm really looking forward to creating more pages. It really was much easier than I thought to get started, I can't wait to alter to more books in different sizes! You should try it too! Have a great day!
