Hi Everybody,A few years ago now I did a tutorial on how to alter a cheap notebook and make it some thing special
With Christmas on the way this is another project that would make a pretty gift
It and can be filled with all sorts of stuff by the recipient ... address book, To Do lists etc.
The example shows a notebook altered with Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and the video tutorial will show you the steps
I have added in some flourishes from Want2Scrap and some toning ribbon
It's not hard to do and you will have some lovely results with any pretty papers that you may have in your one personal "Stash"
But choose the booklet carefully as it needs to be the right kind of spiral along the spine for you to open up and be able to remove the covers
Don't forget to add your name to the Give Away for this month and be in with a chance to win some wonderful new Spellbinders
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Lovely idea Christina, xxx

Tbis is a beautiful project, I might give this a go as I have a very plain notebook that would be perfect for this.

Hi Christina
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning idea. I'll look at the video later and give this a go. I've entered your giveaway. It's just a shame that people only seem to go on a blog when it has a giveaway, and don't bother to look at your stunning creations afterwards.
Morning Christine,
ReplyDeleteA lovely gift idea.

Oops I made a duplicate entry and do not know how how to delete have tried but failed. So sorry about this I thought the first one had not registered no 430. And 432. Love your work and tutorials phil
ReplyDeleteHello Christina, thank you for a very detailed video ( as usual) which will help make a very personalised gift. Nothing can compare to a notebook made to suit the reciprient against a bought one, at a much greater cost. I have a grandchild who writes many little stories and I have in the past just bought the mass produced ones, which I now regret. In future they will be taylor made.
