Altered children's book and more cards!

This is a hardcover baby book  from Target's dollar bin. It was perfect to alter it and make it into this mini book. Its size is 6 x 6. I made the embellishments in the front with chipboard, metal wire, rhinestones and my sewn brown  ribbon flower. I used the same color scheme for the inside and secured the centers using Martha Stewart punches.

 

I also made a bunch of cards.
