Pirate Composition Notebook

Here is a notebook I covered for a little boy named JD. He is starting to draw shapes and learn how to write letters so I thought this would be great for him to have. He absolutely loved it and his mom reported that he even slept with it the first night so he could draw circles as soon as he woke up, too cute! The paper I used is from a DCWV stack called All About Boys. His name I cut using my Cricut and the Ashlyn's Alphabet cartridge. I inked all around the book using Crumb Cake from SU! and Kraft cardstock from Recollections was used for my spine :o)

Shop with me HERE for SU! products :o)

Hugs!

Minnie Mouse

Hey all!

Today I have another altered composition notebook I turned into a journal for a special girl. My son Maverick has started dating :o) His girlfriend's name is Maiah and they have known each other for the last three years. She moved out of state at the end of their Sophomore year and stayed in touch. They will both be Seniors this school year and the plan is that she is moving back after she finishes school. I wish them the best for their relationship and friendship. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, right? Oh, to be young again :o)

Here is her journal... 

 I used the Mickey Font cartridge for her name and Minnie, the paper came from a Paper Studio stack called Uptown Flair. The mat for Minnie is a Nestabilities die Labels 25.

I also attached a ribbon with a letter bead (M) 

on the end for a place marker

I hope you all have a wonderful week :o)

Hugs!

Altered Composition Notebook

Here is  an altered composition notebook I made for my mom :o) She had an extra one just sitting around so she  asked me if I would cover it for her, of course! I used a Paper Studio Pad called Lola & Luca, very pretty papers! The ovals were cut using my Cricut and a Nestabilities die called Lacey Ovals. Rhinestone's are from Michael's and the line of Rhinestone trim came in a RAK I received last year :o) Thanks Stacy!!!! The sentiment is from a set called Royal Sayings Two from The Scrapbooking Queen :o)

Hugs!

Writing Journal

So Caleb's homework assignment this weekend was to bring home one of his composition notebooks and decorate it  for his writing journal. We needed to keep it very simple and flat due to wear and tear :o) Oh the things we could have done! I think it is still cute and way better than the way it looked before. Caleb picked out the papers and I went to work. I printed the "Caleb's Writing Journal" from my computer using one of my favorite fonts Bradley Hand at 36 pts in Bold, inked around it with some Memento Rich Cocoa and matted it on a piece of Recollections red cardstock, same cardstock was used for the spine along with some brown ribbon. The monkey paper came from a stack from Hobby Lobby called Cheekee Monkey, love that name! Fits Caleb perfectly with his love of monkeys, and he acts like one :o) The monkey faces are glossy!

Here is the finished notebook...

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

All four of my boys will be back in school starting tomorrow :o)

Hugs!

More notebooks

These are regular size composition notebooks that I altered. I picked up a few extra during the back to school sale. This year I will get more, these are too much fun to make. And who doesn't like a cute notebook? I made these for my sister's boyfriends kids. They were suppose to be done before Christmas but, better late than never right?

Hope you are all had a good start to the week so far :0)

Updated notebooks...

So......... my nieces are coming!!!! They are actually already out here I just won't see them until tomorrow :0) I updated their notebooks that I showed you all in a previous post. I added some photo mats to the divider pages after I found out they were getting cameras and taking pictures while they visit. Here are the updated photos of the notebooks.

Nickol's

Gillian's

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, I sure will! Hugs!!!!

Tinkerbell note book :0)

So I finally got around to making myself one of the altered Michael's note books I picked up. Just wanted to share the final result and of course it's Tinkerbell!

I love the way this turned out :0) The Tinkerbell is a dimensional sticker I got in RAK from Pea along with the green sparkly ribbon, Thanks again Pea! The pearl swirls and flower are from Michael's and I just cut it apart to work for what I did. I cut my name out with my Tear Drop font cartridge. I even put tiny pom poms on Tink's slippers and used some iridescent glitter glue over them along with on her wings, even though you can't see it here :0) Hugs!

More altered notebooks...

These are some composition notebooks I got in the dollar bin at Michael's. I love the size of these :0)

Here is a closer look at each...

These are for my little neighbor girls that we have been friends with for a few years :0)

And here is a card I made for their Dad's birthday this weekend...

He definitely knows how to work the grill!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! We are swimming and barbecuing again on Saturday with Jeremy's Mom and Fiance and then off to see Transformers Dark of the Moon on Sunday! Hugs!

Altered Disney Notebooks

Hi all! I have finally gotten something creative done :0) I have had the worst block ever lately. I hope this gets me going again! I made a couple of notebooks for my nieces that are coming out to visit from Nebraska soon. I got this idea from Heather known as GreenScrapinMachine on YT. Click her name and it will take you to the video she did of her journal using a composition notebook. I didn't have any so I used a spiral bound notebook my son had left over from school. I think they turned out great! I was asked to do a tutorial so that may be up soon :0)

 This is Gillian's. I used the Mickey and Friend's cartridge and the Mickey Font cartridge for all of the cutouts.

 This is the first divider with Mickey :0) They can also add photos to these if they would like. The other side is also designer paper with no character.

 Second divider with Daisy :0)

 And the last divider with Donald :0)

 This one is Nickol's. I wanted them to be slightly different so I put Daisy on the front instead of Minnie.

 First divider with Mickey :0)

 Second divider with Minnie :0)

And the last divider with Donald :0) These are only one subject spiral notebooks so I didn't want to take away too many pages by adding more characters than this. Maybe next time I will plan ahead and get bigger notebooks :0) You can see the video here where I go through the whole notebook, enjoy!

Thanks Heather for your great inspiration! Hugs!!!!
