Anyway ,,,I will be popping around to see you all more often now I have some time on my hands :-)
We have some sad news this week, unfortunately Carol has stepped down from the TPC to move on to pastures new ,,we all wish you the very best of luck Carol and we will continue to stalk your blog xx :-)
This week I have combined challenges as the Stamp Something and Totally Papercrafts Challenges have the same theme ,,,
BACK TO SCHOOL
Both Challenges are being sponsored by the lovely Heidi at Simon Says Stamp so a fab $20 voucher on the Stamp Something Challenge and a lovely parcel of goodies on the Totally Papercrafts Challenge :-)
The TPC are also sponsored by Squigglefly so some fabulous digi images on offer there too :-)
I made a notebook this week, it was supposed to be for Amy but my Mum likes it so I gave it to her and will make Amy another one ,,didn’t want a fight on my hands lol :-)
I trimmed some mountboard ( free from a frame shop) to 5X7 inches and covered it with Basic Grey Kraft paper. I followed the fab sketch on the Sketch Saturday Challenge and used some BG Manila paper for the layers, I stamped one piece with a Hero Arts Friend Definition stamp.
I used my new House Mouse Class Clown stamp, this is stamp of the month for August ,, cute eh ! :-) Coloured with Copics and I inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink. I also added some glaze o the paperclip and ‘metal’ bit of the pencil. I used a little Tim Holtz Ruler ribbon and added some American tag twine and a Basic Grey button. I used my Bind-It All to put it all together and added some ribbon and more twine to finish. For the inside I used the papers from a shop bought notebook.
