An Altered Notebook

Good Evening or Morning to you, whichever part of the world you're from... It is  late Tuesday evening in South Africa and I have just completed altering a notebook for a colleague who asked me to make one for her daughter.  As usual there is always a time limit and she needs this by Friday, so inbetween DT commitments and other orders, I managed to put this together.  Hope Mom and Daughter like it!


The brief was that I use pink and red.  We aim to please and I was fortunate to find this last piece of pink designer paper with cherries on them...shew!  The rest just followed.  It's the first time I'm using King Tilda... she's actually adorable, thanks so much to my dear friend for stamping her for me!  Not quite sure what the notebook is going to be used for i.e. Notes or a Diary, hence the stamped sentiments.  I quite like using the little wooden stamps, lends a little bit of grunginess to the whole shabby look... even if you smudge it a bit or the letters are not quite straight, it just adds to the uniqueness of the handmade project.


Tilda has been coloured with Copics and her crown was coloured in with Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks. They have a beautiful shimmer to them. I used a glittery gold gel pen to ink around the crown just to add some definition.


I had some beautiful red stars in a small jar and these came in quite handy. Love the Martha Stewart Garden Trellis border punch, which I use far too seldom.

That's it for me.  Must hit the sack to catch a few zzzzzzzz's before work tomorrow.  Thanks so much for popping by, your visits and comments really make my day ;)..... hugs Sharon x
