A truly altered notebook

Good morning! 

Here is a notebook that I really have altered! I have not just decorated the cover, I have totally changed it!

This particular notepad had a plastic cover on it, which I was just going to decorate by covering with some Kraft card and embellishment. But as I was doing that, I thought I would try going a step further.

After replacing the cover, I used some This 'n That DSP, Chalk Talk Framelits and This 'n That Washi Tape. I embossed the panel with the Houndstooth EF and finished with some Candy Dots.

I am entering this into the challenge at Sunday Stamps this week, where they have this sketch...

Supplies

Embossing - Houndstooth EF

I will be back either later today or tomorrow to show you how to change the cover on these books quite easily!

I have the school run, the gym and some stained glass to make for church decorations today. Hope you have a fabby Wednesday!

Numbers!

Good morning LIMettes!

Not sure I was going to manage to get up this morning as I was out with my friends last night, and Hels stayed over, but as I lost my phone last night I woke up worrying about where it might be. Turns out, it's in another friend, Elaine's car!

Anyway, the upshot is I'm up and about and ready to create! This morning at Less Is More, it's one layer challenge week, and this week the theme is 

NUMBERS

Hmmmm....I don't have any number stamps, and since my printer is struggling to print on card I can't do a computer generated number. Plus, I have brand new Christmas stamps to play with! Yes, Christmas!! So here is my card, using a brand new Christmas stamp from the upcoming Autumn/Winter catalogue and my This 'n That Rotary Stamp...

I love this stamp...a true, traditional image of Santa! I simply stamped him, masked him off, then swiped Real Red ink over the background using a Sponge Dauber. I think this might end up being the first of a pack of cards! 

If you would like a copy of the brand new Autumn/Winter catalogue which you can order from at the end of this month, please do contact me!

Right, I'm off out for a day in Southport with the girls! Have a lovely Saturday! :)

My first scrapbook page!

Good morning! 

I've had my This n' That bundle for a while now, but I have finally managed to complete my first ever scrapbook page in it!

It is from Keiran's 5th Birthday this year!

It really is a fab little journal, and the pocket on the inside cover is great for storing all the elements for the book, like stickers, and also for putting tickets stubs etc.

I have to work now...shame as it is such a lovely day. Oh well, needs must eh?!

Have a good one!
