Asian Star Book
From my friend Gene, I got this wonderful Star Book....it is truly so awesome in person. The front and back chipboard covers are using actual fabric - it is so cool. I love the colors in this fabric!!! Finished size is 6-1/4" x 4-1/2" and held open/closed with a 5/8" Gold satin ribbon. More photos to follow below............

All the paper used in this book is shimmery Vanilla card stock. The Dandelion Stamps BFF's is so appropriate for the inside cover. On the right inside is stamped "Friends". Love the red floral background that was also stamped, too.
Turn the page to see a variety of stamped Asian calligraphy styles:
Wow - continue turning the page: beautifully stamped red cherry blossoms with a stamped message:
