Distressed Memory Book

 Hello!













I was asked to make something for a classic bike lover's special birthday. 
I made an 8 inch square  memory book so there are spaces to add pics or other mementos and a box to keep it safely.
I am sharing some of the pages while trying not to show any personal details and have even redacted a bit.


Materials:

Bikes and Sentiments stamps from Darkdoor Door 
Tim Holtz dies which I used as Stencils and dies.
Other stencils from stash
Distress Inks
Different card in layers such as corrugated, kraft etc.
The number plate sheet is cut from a 12x12 DCWV scrap pad
Metal tool embellishments
Metal brads
Metal bike charm
Metal corners
Tim Holtz alpha numeric and ephemera  stickers


Thanks for looking in,
Vee xx

I would like to share this memory book at:

Allsorts Challenge #666 where there is an option of Distressed 

The River of Creativity #11 who have revamped their challenge and there is an option of square. This memory book and box are square.
