Small Notebooks w/Peachy Keen

So I started making these small notebooks last year for my students and then never got around to finishing them. So I decided to make another 15 of them and give them to my students for Christmas. Making 25 of everything for my students has been a challenge but I love crafting so whatever. I asked my kiddos what their favorite colors and animals are and went to town cutting and stamping. Surprisingly it did not take that long to make them all. So now on to the massive amount of pictures :0)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made some without animals. These two football ones were cut from the Father's Day cartridge, which is my least favorite cartridge I have ever bought.

 

This one I used stickers since I did not have a soccer call cut.

I kept these very simple since there were so many of them to make. Very few layers are really needed with the wonderful Peachy Keen faces. My students loved their books. It was totally worth the work to see their excitement.

Christmas Planner w/Peachy Keen

This is a little planner I made for my secret santa. I cut chipboard and decorated it with paper. The snowmen are from Doodlecharms. I love these three together. The cute faces are from Peachy Keen assorted face set. I used my Irock to add the buttons on the belly and sentiment. Pretty ribbon on the ends and there you have it.

I used index cards for the inside and bond it all with my Bind it All. I love these little books. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Small Notebooks

The outside is made from chipboard and decorated. The inside is just index cards. I used my Bind it All to bind them into books and added ribbon. This paper was so cute that I did not want to add anything to cover it up.

Recipe~
PAPer-DCWV The Green Stack 4.5x5 size so fits perfectly for the little characters
Bind it All and 1 inch metal rings
Index cards
ribbon

These are soo easy. I am working on making 25 for my next years class. I am going to you them as autograph books and have the kids right messages to the other kiddos as a keep sake.

 Card-fits in the purse

 Notpad-fits in the purse

 Ok on to the details...

 I did many different things on this card. Lets start with the background. I used Ranger Ricks alcohol inks to make the background paper and the scallop paper. I then sprayed the scallop with Glitter Mist in pink and blue and used my nestabilities to cut it. I added white metal accents with my I*rock. The ribbon I colored white ribbon with my Zig markers using three colors. Hand colored the digi with prism colored pencils and blended with gamsol. The eggs have glossy accents on them. 

 The details are hard to see on this one. I made the background of the digi with alcohol inks and colored the same way. On the paint on the egg I used UTEE. I love the way that came out. This is a Splitcoast tutorial which I made for one of my last posts as well. 

 I made this notebook from scratch using thick chipboard and added notebook paper in there. Used my bind it all to bind it. Hand colored the same us the above and added Glossy Accents on the ears.
