Welcome to my two new followers. I hope you can stop by my blog again soon.
A decorated notepad today using lot of snippets. I bought the notepad in The Range for 25p, with a very boring plain front cover!
I had a small piece of patterned paper left over from a Stampin' Up retreat I went on some time ago. It was just big enough to cover the front of the notepad. I stamped the image with a matching flower stamp and layered it on a green and a yellow mat. I used a Martha Stewart border punch with another snippet of green card, backed the holes with yellow card and attached it over the top of the notepad. A strip of yellow card was added across the middle and I stamped a few tiny green flowers.
I am joining in the following challenges:
What pretty patterned paper and a creative and beautiful front cover....very creative Liz x.
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty Liz. I will have to have a look for some "boring" notepads and decorate them up. I like that you matched the image to the background paper.
DeleteYou've decorated this plain notepad beautifully and created a pretty and useful item to gift or use yourself. I love the Stampin' Up paper you have used, their papers are gorgeous. Sorry I haven't visited in a while, my blogging time has been diminished by so many card orders, I'm nearly all Christmas'd out!

ReplyDeleteWhat a transformation! This will make a lovely little gift.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely Christmas gift for someone and cute as can be.
ReplyDeleteThese such great value notebooks Liz, but you've made it into something extra special, pretty papers and stamp. A great gift. I had forgotten I have quite a few of the books in my cupboard. Perhaps I'll do similar? Thanks for the reminder.
