Floral Notebooks

 Good Morning All

No Craft Group today as it is what we call a Red day (Bank Holiday) here in Spain so everywhere is shut.

So I guess I will be in my craftroom!!!!

Perhaps making some more of these Notebooks.

I took a box of them to my Slimming Group and sold quite afew, I didn't realise how many I had made over the months, until I put them all together to take to group.

They are about 4x6 and I use all the offcuts of paper  left over from my card inserts.

Very handy to keep in a handbag and they do make a nice little gift too,

so I decided to make a little notebook for my  charity box.

I made the cover and decorated it with some pieces left over from another DT project

Inside the front cover I made a pocket.

AG with Nature Option for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge theme this week is chosen by Ellie and it is

Anything Goes with an option of Nature

I made two notebooks to give to family members and they both have a theme of nature running through them.

This is the first one and this is the front cover.

A lovely pastel shade paper and I added a strip of material for strength on the spine.

I added a double page with pockets and put a Journal card in each one.

This is the second one, very similar.

And both have a pocket on the inside of the back cover.

Very happy with those and I hope the girls I gave them to did too.

Under The Sea for MAWTT

 Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this month is

Under The Sea

chosen by Zoe.

I made a Notebook for Hollie, which I will give to her next time I see her, whenever that may be!!

I laminated the cover and added some lovely silk ribbon for closure.

I added 2 charms to the ribbon, the hearts says Love and the other Believe.

This is an envelope with another image of a Mermaid on it and I shall probably put some money in there.

I also added a couple of pages from a story book with some nice pictures in it.

I will get her into Junk Journalling !!!

I got the Mermaid papers from Janeybjournals as part of her Facebook Group.

Here is a link to her Etsy.

Travel for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

Crafty Ribbons are having a Showcase Week and I am the last post so quickly pop over to their Facebook page and leave a comment on the original post to be in with a chance of winning a ribbon bundle.  The draw will be done at 3pm UK time today.

I made a TN - Travellers Notebook.

I used this wonderful Grosgrain ribbon with images of skylines / famous buildings on it.

I used it to make the closure or wrap around.

There is a notebook inside and 2 pockets

This would be great for taking on a holiday to write memories and notes and receipts etc.

This fold out on the side is made from an A5 envelope and cut one end open to make a pocket.

I think I may give this as a raffle prize at my Junk Journal class.u

Here are afew pictures of the sun going down the other night when I was walking Rico.

It just looked so beautiful going down between the mountains.

Thanks for visiting

Notebooks for Charity

 Good Morning All

I have made some more notebooks in Pockets to go in the box to raise funds for La Finca Castellana.

As we are back at slimming group yesterday, I filled another box with goodies - Notebooks, Bookmarks and Cards.

These were made with a freebie from Gi Kerr  - Happiness in Crafting

In the link above you will find all her Freebies in the Files section.

I made the pockets from a gardening book and decorated  with Snippets I had already made for Junk Journals.

I love making these and I found a notebook for 85cents in the China shop so  cut the pages to the size I needed and managed to get 5 from the one book.

*************

I have been making mini books to house my Stick Pins which I have for sale in my Etsy

I Love ................ for Allsorts & Belated Birthday

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and as we had our Birthday during lockdown Brenda thought it wise to delay our Birthday celebrations until a more suitable time.

Brenda has a wonderful prize of an Arteza Pen set

Plus there will be more on some of the DT's blogs too.

The theme is I Love........

Well where do I start.

I Love crafting

I Love Lace

I Love Junk Journals

I Love Notebooks

I just love making stuff.

I made this Notebook using pretty papers and lacy doilies and lots of pretty stuff.

This is the front using JND Poinsettias and Gerbera flowers.

The back

Inside and the cute dress paperclip is a tutorial by Gi Kerr.

We have a new sponsor joining us, Pinksy Doodles,  and she sent us some lovely digi papers to work with.

Here is a card I made using two of them.

I used a circle paper punch to make the sort of windmill and now I am wondering if it needs a gem in the centre????

The lovely spotty ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and I found this strange button in my button box.

It had long gaps instead of holes so I threaded some of the ribbon through it and added it to hide a smudge on my homemade sentiment.

A fairly CAS card but I quite like it.

I hope you will join us in our Birthday celebrations and visit the other design team members too to see prizes on offer.

I will give a prize ---- This  folio which is quite large, more like a lapbook

Plus I shall add some homemade embellishments too which I shall add into the parcel.

I will draw a winner next Saturday  on My Allsorts post .

A challenge from Gi Kerr

 Good Morning All

A folio to show today.

I made this for a challenge on Facebook set by Gi from Happiness in Crafting.

She gives out a freebie every Friday and she set a challenge to use them along with an envelope template she gave .

This is what I made, a shabby chic folio.

I used as many bits as I could and added a notebook made with coffee dyed papers.

Lots of pockets and tucks and secret places.

There are over 100 entries so I dont hold out much hope!!!!!!
