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

Designer Paper - This 'n That

Embossing - Houndstooth EF

Stamp - Oh, Hello

Framelits - Chalk Talk

Other - This 'n That Washi Tape, Candy Dots

You can buy all of these products through my online store (click the link in my sidebar).

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!

Ties for the modern man!

Jen and I had a debate yesterday, during our craft session, about whether or not I should use pink on ties, on a card, for a man. I said that men do wear pink ties, she thought it looked girly! I have, however, stamped a pink tie! I like it and Keiran's Dad used to wear pink ties all the time. Hmmm...maybe that's why it didn't work out... lol!

Anyway, here is the (offending) card! ;)

I used my newish Houndstooth and Stripes embossing folders for some texture, and cut the sentiment out using the small Framelit from the Apothecary Accents set for some shape.

Supplies

Cardstock - Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade (retired), Bashful Blue (retiring)

Stamps - Best Dad Ever, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
