MMCS Challenge 6 - Anything but Square


Well, its Wednesday which means its time for a new challenge over on the My Mums Craft Shop Challenge Blog. This week we have the theme of ' anything by square ' ... basically, as long as it isn't square you can enter the challenge! As always you don't need to make a card to be eligible for the prize, you can enter anything crafty ... my DT entry this week is an altered notebook ... here it is ...


With baby due in 9 weeks time, I figured it was about time I started to get myself organised so i created this gorgeous lil notebook to keep all my DT duties in and to have at hand when I make my cards so I can actually remember what I used on each card as I post them - super handy for me to list copic colours etc in too! Hope you like it ... its currently sat looking pretty next to me on my desk as i write up this post!

The image has been coloured in with my copics (colours listed below now I am super organised and have my lovely notebook!), is of course from TGF and is Stamping Anya - I couldnt NOT use her really could I - i DO love stamps and evidently i seem to love glitter too! The image, the chipboard alpha and all around the edges of the notebook are all COVERED in Icicle stickles glitter glue, I love how its clear but goes teally and coppery in the light, matches those gorgeous First Edition papers perfectly. I have cut the image out using large classic oval and mounted onto a large scalloped oval nesties. To finish the front off I simply added some faux stitching around the edge and a bow to the top made from peach polkadot ribbon i found in my stash. I didnt want to add too much because i know its all gonna fall off!!!

I would like to enter my lil note book into the following challenges:
