Beautiful Book Covers

I found the inspiration to do this project at Confessions of a Plate Addict's blog.  She has a beautiful blog and I have just become a loyal follower of hers.  To see her tutorial  click here.    

 For the first stack of books I used one of my vintage French typography sheets.  I copied it three times and then placed it strategically on the book bindings so it would read across.  I just realized that I did not share this image with you so it will be the focus of tomorrow's post.  I love this French paper.  For the actual cover of the books I used brown mailing paper which I purchased at Walmart.  Basically the cost of this project is finding three books that match in size.  I purchased mine at a thrift store for $1 each.  Don't limit yourself to three books either.  You could do a whole row depending on how wide your image is.

 This look is totally romantic which is definitely my style.

 Here is an image I got from the Graphics Fairy.  It is a new image of hers.  I absolutely love it.  To use this image click here.

 Isn't this a fabulous decorating idea?  It makes a great presentation.  I hope you will give it a try.
