For the challenge, I worked on this bee-utiful book. I went with a green base instead of brown or black. I absolutely LOVE the color!!! There are hexagon cut outs throughout to represent the bee hive. The little hexagon mirrors made my day! I even did a few cut outs on the back cover. Lots and lots of cutting.

I may have over decorated the book, but I couldn't help myself.

I watched hours of YBM videos. I took note of things I liked and wanted to try. I decided to try and sketch out notes and measurements, but in the end, I just started winging it. It started with the see through pages. That thought and the crazy outfits fans were with stripes and sequins inspired the entire design. This book is in memory of my mom. She was a HUGE Razorback fan. I'm donating it to a local school auction to help raise funds.

I did not think it would take as long as it did because Mrs. Long makes it look so easy and doable. Practice makes perfect! I forgot magnets on the inside cover. I hid them under the red glitter dots. The envelope kept rubbing the frame on the next page so I made a huge magnetic flap. Imperfectly perfect!

I don't know if I will ever master the spine. It eludes me!
