Books - Tag Tuesday

Over at
Tag Tuesday
this weeks theme is...Books
I went through my mixed media stash and found an old distressed falling apart French dictionary bought from a Boot sale.
-oOo-
 I removed the spine to alter....

and here is my 'Book' tag offering....
I've used....
the book spine as my tag base, French dictonary text (tearing out the words Livre - french for book),
....sweet image of a boy reading a book,
french postcard image,coffee foil, lace, pen nib. eiffel tower charm, butterfly scraps, rik-rak and distress inks.
I'm having so much fun each week with tag tuesday, So many inspiring artists with many inspiring tags to see each week!
Thanks for Peeking!
