6" x 6" Fabric Book Cover

I'm participating in a Fabric Book Swap. The details are that we make up a book of our choice, as long as it's no bigger than 6" x 6", and I've gone with a standard square shape. There are 10 players all up and each of us has to make 2 pages for each player in their particular book, with whatever theme they have chosen.

My theme is Nature's Hidden Treasures and here is my front cover:-



Oh I forgot to mention that our pages must all contain some pockets. My pockets are made from organza and are behind the embellishments (ie the shell, the button) and have little nik naks in them like rocks or a tag or paper.

From what I've seen of the other players pages, this is going to be an AWESOME swap.

I'm not a sewer by any means, so this has been a huge challenge for me.

Here is the back of the front page:-
