Keeping it all under cover!

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I spent the day doing a little scrap booking.  :)

I decided to make some calendar and journal covers.  I love how these turned out and now I am making several for Christmas presents.  I picked papers from Topstitch.  Then embellished with the coordinating My Stickease and Sparkles from the red, pink and purple assortment.  I removed the front and back covers.  Then, adhered the paper to both covers.  I inked the edges, attached stickers, bling, and viola!

Items needed:

My Reflections Level 2 paper pack in Topstitch

My Stickease Assortment in Topstitch

Sparkles Red, Pink, & Purple Assortment

Bonding Memories Glue Pen

Exclusive Inks Chocolate

Sponge Dauber 

My second project was a notepad that I use frequently.  I used the same application technique and the following items.

Items Needed:

My Reflections Level 2 paper pack in Magnifique

Sparkles Blue & Green assortment

Ribbon in Cocoa

Mini-Medley Chocolate Shades Collection Flowers

Bonding Memories Glue Pen

Exclusive Inks Chocolate

Sponge Dauber

Enjoy!

I saw Christmas tags on another consultant's blog and I was inspired to try some of my own. I will be hosting a workshop on making your very own soon! Just email me for more information.

Happy Birthday!

I made this card using the 1 1/4" hole punch, chocolate grosgrain ribbon, and Bamboo and Desert Sand ink to age the edges.  If you would like more information, email me!

Hooligans!

I had some scrap paper left and knew I needed to have a place to show off these 3 little guys!
