Shopping ….

I’ve had notebooks sitting in my box of “stuff” for quiet sometime, just waiting patiently to be decorated or something…. to them.  Well today was the day!
With the rose, I have stamped it 3 times onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Using the Aqua Painter, I then picked up bits of colour from Ruby Red and painted the rose.  I then cut 2 of the stamped images where I thought would best suit the flower.  I used dimensionals to create the layers.  I may even add a little Dazzling Diamonds for a bit more of a lift!
On the inside, I’ve covered the top of the notebook with cardstock & DSP.  I’ve randomly stamped 3 images on the pages, using the different flowers & the colours from the front.  I decided not to add any flower on the left side, but instead added a small pocket – Blue Check – which you are able to include your receipts etc.  In the next couple of days, I will do a Tutorial for the cover & instructions relating to the technique I’ve used.
I am going to have to return this set to Jenny this week or she will be thinking she didn’t purchase this set.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Fifth Avenue

How Cute is This…

How Cute is This Watering can…

What a great item to put a package of lollies, chocolates, etc into for that special pressie.

I have another idea in my head and am going to play with it again tmw & see if I can make a new box from it!

Jenny & I made this on Sunday & of course I couldn’t stop saying ‘how cute is this…”  I had to pretend to water all her plants – lol

Supplies –
Stamp Set – Great Friend
Ink Pad – Baja Breeze, Chocolate Cocoa
DSP – Parisian Breeze Speciality
Accessories – Dimensions, Sticky Strip, Pearls from the Pretties Kit, Scallop Oval Punch, Oval Punch

The Parisian Breeze Speciality DSP is one of the loveliest paper I have worked with.  It is extra strong, which means you don’t have to cover card stock with it to hold the shape.
I will be very sad to see this paper, Stamp Sets – Great Friend & Forest Friends go when the Mini ends 30 November.  Only 29 days to get your order in!

What a great Class to do!
I hope you enjoy looking, as much as I did making it!

Enjoy & don’t loose to much on the cup!
