The notebook is 5x7. I took a dollar store find with flimsy covers and removed the covers and replaced with 2 pieces of kits 2 remember chipboard. I used 2 pieces of 8x8 chipboard and cut them down. Simply use the covers you remove for a template to punch the holes. I used some fun Cherry Arte papers, various flowers, buttons, diamond stickles and scraps of ribbon.
I added stickles to the inside of the flowers on the paper and along the edges of the diecut flowers. Instead of bling swirls, which was my first thought, I decided to go with stickle swirls. They don't show up really well in the photos but they add just enought shimmer. The alpas are some old Arctic Frog rubons.
I covered the front with this fun pattern and the back with just the green houndstooth pattern. The inside has a wide stripe paper and I made a little pocket on the front cover with the green. I just used a scrap of papper folded in the edges a little and used my circle cutter to cut a little spot out of the top.
I made a matching book mark with stickles on the flowers ans some Rebekka Erickson rubons.



I used this fun digi stamp from Simply Sassy Designs for this. I layered 2 images together and popped them off the card. I used scraps from the previous project, along with various flowers, stickles, button, ribbon and Fiskars punch. The sentiment is a Studio G stamp. I just stamped on a scrap of paper and cut into a tag. It is the perfect size for this little gift! Again I added stickle swirls.


I rolled the edges of the diecuts t give a little more depth.
