Here is a project I did last Christmas for my grand daughter, Hannah. Her favorite colors naturally are pink, purple, black & white. And she loves bling ... I mean reallllllly loves bling. So Grandma did her best.
I started with one of those composition notebooks. I picked up several dozen at the beginning of the school year for ---wait for it---- 13 cents each. Woohoo! Love a bargain.
I then really just went into my ribbon stash , paper, gems and jewels, pearls, and on on on.....I went. What a great way to use up stash in such a fun method. The pictures are shots of the front and back. A couple of pix of the inside of the covers. Hopefully, they show up well enough for you to see how good it turned out. Hannah was so happy with it. Yea!!!! That's what this grandma needs to hear.
So enjoy. I have tried to show various angles of both the front and back covers. The last 2 pictures ,of course, are the inside of the front and back covers.
I have some pictures of 2 cards and 2 recycled decorated notebooks I put together recently. The pictures aren't too good. But I am really please I am just able to download them now without any problems.
The 2 notebooks were recycled using wrapping paper left over from holidays and favorite character stickers. Needless to say their favorite colors are pink and purple. They love polka dots . One loves Tinkerbell. The other loves Sleeping Beauty. I kind of blinged it up a bit with the pearl drops. It gives a really pretty effect . I love the raised effect it has. The books I used were just an ordinary composition book. Easy, Easy.
The 2 cards I made: The pink one is for my grand niece just born a few days ago. I also used the pearl drops on it as well as stickles on the word "sweet pea". It's hard to show up, expecially when you don't take good pictures. But I am really pleased with it. The cartridge I used was New Arrival.
The blue card is a congratulatory card for a young man who just received his Eagle Award. The cartridge I used was Beyond Birthdays. I kept it simple. He's 16 and isn't into blinging it up.
Had so much fun today, making these things. I have been making things all through the holidays, but I just didn't have time to post anything. I just finished a really neat book for my sister and her husband's 50th wedding anniversary party. I forgot to take pictures of it. Of course. I'm going to have her send me a few, so I can download them.
