The Notebook

I've been pretty bad at updating on here lately. This weekend I was in Toronto for a wedding, and also celebrated my 6 year wedding anniversary (!!). But I've got a few cards done, so watch for new posts this week. I've also got some blog candy together to celebrate 500 hits (now over 600, oops!) that I should be putting up this week, so stay tuned!

Now on to this post's craft. I picked up some hard cover notebooks at the dollar store this weekend, and tried my hand today at decorating one. I like how it turned out and will be making some more.

The flower in the middle is made with watercoloured paper that I cut petal shapes from and glued together.

Paper: Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Bella Rose DSP (all SU)

Other: Riding Hood Red Designer Button (SU), D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing folder, Ribbon from Costco, Notebook from the dollar store.

Post-It Notes Project

Awhile ago, Chelle posted a link to this tutorial to make a Post-It Note holder. I liked it, and thought I'd give it a try.

The stamp is the branch from the Always set (again!), and it uses the scallop circle punch.

If you're looking for velcro, try the dollar store, I got a bunch of adhesive velcro there.

Stamps: Always (SU)
Paper: Chocolate Chip (SU), Brocade Blue (SU), light blue cardstock
Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU)
Other: 1 1/4" circle punch (SU), 1 3/8" circle punch (SU), scalloped circle punch (SU), Swiss dots embossing folder
