WISH Journal

Hi Everyone
Hope you all are having a lovely Wednesday. I have been very busy with work lately and haven't had much crafting time. But I wanted to share with you this WISH journal I made.

I just fell in love with this paperstack from K&Co. when I saw it. It is the Nature stack and all of the pages inside the stack coordinate. I used one of the $1 stamps from Michaels and coordinating ribbon for the bow. I took a $1 journal from the $1 bins and turned it into this beautiful little notebook. I also used Art Philosophy for the cut with the butterfly in it. I just love this Cartridge. I bought the butterfly, it was part of the matching accessories.

Here is what the journal looked like before it's transformation.

Valentine's Notebook

Happy Wednesday!

Oh it is the middle of the week and I for one can't wait for it to be over. I am going to an all day crop on Saturday and can't wait to see all my cropping pals. My sister and I are going to be working on items for some upcoming craft fairs that we want to go to so I am really excited to see what we come up with.
It has been a busy couple of weeks for me, tax season started and I have been working late hours and not getting a whole lot of crafting done, but I did make this Valentine's Notebook for a Circle pal swap we did.

Yep you guessed it, the original notebook is from the $1 bins at Michaels. I love them! LOL! I picked up this Valentine paper from Joann and found these accessories that match.  Check back tomorrow and I will be showing some tags I made for a tag swap I was in.

Princess Party Update & Valentines Notebook

Happy Friday!
I  am working today, having my son's friend stay the night and going to our niece's birthday tonight YIKES! This is going to be a long night! LOL! I wanted to give you all an update on how Kaylas Princess party went.

Just wanted to share some pictures from Kayla's Princess party and the awesome cake my friend make for her.

Kaylas was so excited with her cake, and it turned out perfect. She loved that she could take off the princess figures and play with them.

My little princess openning one of her presents. The party went really well, there was only one other little girl there, (all of her cousins are boys) but she plays very well with them.

I made this little notebook for a Valentines Day swap I am in. I found the notebooks at Michaels after Christmas and they were 70% off WOOHOO! Picked them up for $.30 each. I love the $1 bins but I really love them when they are 70% off.  Sorry Reno followers I bought them all! LOL!

The paper is Lots O' Love from Paper Pizazz
The ribbon I picked up at the $1 store
and the embellishments are from Paper Bliss.
I have been using  Xyron 510 to adhere my paper to my notebooks and I just ran out of it and can't find it anywhere for a good price, so if any of you know where I can get more please let me know. Hope you all have an awesome Friday!

SSD- DT Movie Challenge

Hi everyone,

This week for Sweet Sassy Diva's DT challenge we were to watch a movie and make a project about the movie. Well I haven't been renting any movies lately but I watched Valentine's Day on HBO this weekend. This is really a cute movie. It follows different people and their love stories. Really cute.

So for my project I decided to make an altered compisite notebook. This is a pocket size notebook and would fit perfectly in your purse.

So the first thing I did was took the pink patterned paper and traced it around the notebook and cut it out.

Then I glued it on the top of the notebook. I then sanded the edges. Repeat same process for the back side of the notebook. Then I added the chocolate with poka dots paper and sanded the edges.

Next, I used Gypsy font to cut out love at 1.20" and glued onto the front, and added the sticker.

BITTEN BY THE LOVE BUG BLOG HOP & SSD-DT Valentine's Project- Altered Journal

Welcome to Creations with Becka and the Bitten By The Love Bug Blog Hop!


If you've come from visiting Amanda- http://www.myscrappinobsession.com/
you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to http://www.inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com/  and start at the beginning. We would love to share a few projects and ideas with a valentine theme with you!

Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, AND there will be some AWESOME ideas!  So for this blog hop I made this altered journal.

So for this project I picked up this journal at Michael's in the dollar section, WOOHOO gotta love the dollar section.

So the 1st thing I did was inked the edge with the spiral so that I could cover the rest of the cover with paper.

This is CM paper and stickers from the LOVE paper album kit they make. These were the left overs from the kit.

For this project I used Martha Stewart Holiday Cake cartridge. I cut the images at 4". I used the Love/Valentines image. This is how I set up the paper for the cuts, but I ended up not using the brown paper.  Instead of using the XO and Love sayings that were cut out I used the CM stickers.
