Note Book Swap

I have been involved in a note book swap with some lovely ladies who are great friends and great crafters too...
Here is mine which I decorated for Tara.
































First of all I took the cover off and paint it with gesso and some blue paint... the I cut a piece of white card (SU's whisper white) and placed a mask over the top and rubbed some Adirondack cloudy blue paint over and for the bottom part painted it blue then stamped over that using Adirondack denim inkpad and a large script stamp and used some banana frog stamps and cranberry ink too. I made a heart using pearlescent pva. I then covered it all with mod podge. Using my petal pairs punches I made some flowers and diecut some leaves using a crealies die and added those, I added a crystal swirly and then diecut a shape and stamped the note book letters and stuck all those down. Then I bound it all together changing the brown pages for white pages and sent it off to Tara.

Bye for now

That is very pretty - I like the sprays of leaves/flowers in the opposite corners which enclose the rest so nicely.
