Eye Candy ~ My Queen Victoria Book

Over the past few months I have been busy making Queen Victoria book pages. 

Leanne at Provoking Beauty hosted the Young Queen Victoria page swap. 

Everyone made the front and back cover for their book and every two weeks I sent out and page and received a page.  I picked a garden theme for my book.

Finally……. as promised here is my completed book. 

I arranged the pages by color, so the front of one page went with the back of another.
