A Covered Notebook ::Inspired::

After sharing a picture of the anniversary card I posted yesterday, one of my friends asked me if it was a card or a notebook.  Her question sparked an idea and -subsequently- a Creative Daze!

Using an 80-page journal from Michael's as the base, I pulled out another sheet of the Recollections Black and Tan Damask to cover it.  Some black card stock was used for the binding.  

For the ribbon closure, I used a tag from the Gyspy Wanderings Cricut cartridge cut at 1.25" (Kraft paper) and 1" (damask) and then layered them.  I inked the edges of the book with Marcella black dye ink made by K & Company; I love the fact that the ink dries so quickly and doesn't smudge!

For an impromptu project- I think it came out beautifully- and I think I'm keeping it for myself!! LOL  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you guys next time!

Happy Second Anniversary!

Time is flying by and sometimes I feel like I can barely keep up! LOL  It's been two years since *both* of my BFFs got married (one in April, the other in May) and it's time to celebrate their anniversaries!  

...Coming Soon...!!

A Birthday Wish for My Mom

Happy Friday!! It's been a busy couple of weeks and I'm so excited for the weekend…sleeping in, relaxing, and of course- some crafting!!

I wanted to stop in and share a birthday card I created for my mother. I made it back in January, but I had to wait until I gave it to her to post it. I love to create cards using simple shapes and patterned paper so I pulled out the Safari Chic stack by DCWV and got to work! I think it turned out nicely and my mom really liked it!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you after my next Creative Daze!!
