Hello everyone
For our new challenge over at Altered Eclectics I killed 2 birds with one stone, figuratively speaking of course lol. I colleague at work has just received promotion so decided to make her a notebook as a gift. I actually dusted off my Bind it All lol. I used chipboard for the covers. I used a little paper and stamped script on it and then used a brick mask with crackle paste. I coloured it using paint, sprays and gold rub. The key chain, pen nibs, key, lock, corners and lettering are from my stash. I used vellum inside front and back with the script stamp on it. I just love my script stamp. I smothered it completely using mod podge (not the pages inside lol)
Well that's it really but I am going to overload you all with pics lol.
