DIY notebooks

who knew that this. . .

 

 could become this. . .

I needed to come up with items to donate to sell at the Festival of Trees. Once I got started I could not help myself. These are A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E, and so easy to make.
I cut out scrapbook paper to fit the cover, and then added embellishments. I ended up using spray adhesive to attach the paper. I was worried that double stick tape wasn't going to hold tight. Make sure that you spray mist the scrapbook paper. .not the notebook otherwise the pages will stick together. I also covered the inside cover with card stock. .the conversion charts weren't cute. . .  :) It is really that easy. Plus if you don't want to make them you can just go buy them at the Festival of Trees. :)

Handmade cards

These are just a few cards that I made, back when I remembered to take a picture of the card after I made it. A few of the cards I used translucent paper. It is a lot of fun to work with and the ideas are endless, it is pretty pricey but if you find a coupon it is not too bad. I also used a lot of rubber stamps. I either used ink, or ink and embossing powder. More cards to come
