Hello there, friends! Today I’m up on the Echo Park blog sharing a peek inside this cute altered book I created using the amazing Carta Bella Farmhouse Market collection.

I fell immediately in love with this collection, and it only solidified when I actually got to feel it in my hands. As soon as I saw the amazing textured patterned papers, I just knew I would need to use every last one of them. I still have it on my desk, because i simply can’t stop gawking at it.

I decided to bind this altered book by hand with my WRMK Paige Evans book-binding kit, and I really love the whimsical feel of my vintage book cover, with the stitching on the spine. I got a head start fill in all the pages with even prettier things from the collection.

To read about the whole project makes sure to check out the Echo Park blog or feel free to shop the entire collection below. It so so gorgeous guys!
