Playing "Catch-up"

I am involved in a monthly Round Robin based out of Hawaii. I worked ahead as I knew I would be getting busy, problem is I was not as far ahead as I thought. Now I am busy playing "catch-up". It is so unlike me to be late on these things, but it happened.

The theme of this particular page was "Three Wishes and the Magic Lamp". I have a plastic lamp trinket I wanted to dangle from the page, but was having issues with it being made of plastic. So, I'll just send it along with this page and perhaps it could be used as a bauble on the spine of the book or something.

I haven't done this type of embellishment in quite awhile and thought I would include a few detail shots.

As this page will be attached to a pre-existing page in a book, the back doesn't really matter, yet I wanted to share it, as I think it's rather interesting to see how the ribbon, buttons and beads were sewn on.
