Musings

Mornnninnng! 

Today I'm sharing my latest notebook design with you all. I created this notebook for one of my wonderful customers. The lady wanted a place to leave her thoughts and musings! 

I used an adorable digi stamp from Some Odd Girl! 

The lady wanted a muted colour scheme, with pinks and creams. So I kept the focus on the pretty patterned papers from My Minds Eye and the image which I coloured with ProMarkers. 

I created the sentiment using Milo's ABCs from Lawn Fawn and added it on top of a die cut heart. I addeda couple more die cut hearts to the design, stitched some buttons and added breads, pearls and sequins to finish everything off.

I know I always say I'm not a fan of pink, but every project I create using pink.. I lean towards it more and more. Still not my favourite though! xx

A Jar of Eyeballs

I thought I'd start the week off with something a little different from me.

A notebook.

This was commissioned by a lovely lady from America. She wanted a notebook for her daughter. Something including eyeballs, the colour purple and her initials ND. I love being pushed outside of my 'comfort zone' so grabbed this challenge with both hands!

I started with an image from Meljen's Designs, and built the design up around that.

I chose some dark purple textured cardstock from American Crafts and added a doily design using my Indigo Blu Flitter in the colour.. Gin and Tonic. I layered some teal scallops with some checkerboard paper and finally a bow made with ribbon from The Ribbon Girl. 

I didn't want to go too overboard with the embellishments, so added a button to the knot in the now, and a few liquid pearls here and there.

Easy peasy, and I loved it!!

Happy Monday. xo

Gorjuss Note Book

Good morning. :)

I don't think I've shared this notebook here on my blog yet, so I thought I'd stop by and show you all today. While I'm waiting for my Sunday dinner to be cooked - by the kitchen fairies! ;)

I bought a bunch of kraft covered notebooks with the idea to decorate them all pretty for my customers. The two I've made so far went down a treat. I'll be back tomorrow to share another more Christmas-y one. 

So I used a Gorjuss Girls decoupage set from a bigger A4 pack to decorate the front of this card. I also used the papers that came in the pack, as they matched perfectly.

I stamped 'notes' onto a little book plate style die cut which also came in the pack with some Lawn Fawn alpha stamps. 

This is quite a decent sized notebook - it measures around 8"x5". Plenty of room for scribbles.

Thanks for stopping by today. 

I'm going to have a nice relaxing Sunday making Christmas cards now that I've sorted out my CV and made a note of a bunch of numbers of Funeral Directors I want to ring on Monday.
