I thought I'd share a little something that I made for a gift.
I picked up some little notebooks in the reduced basket in the local chemist last year, I wish I'd taken a photo of the original, it already had a little fold over cover in a matchbook style with a nice strong magnet fastening.
I just felt that by covering it would make it look nicer and slightly more classy that the black and white polka dots it came with.
Now, I don't know about you but I love to look round the Pound shop, a while back this hair accessory caught my eye, the jeweled flowers are in fact rather lovely but I can't imagine that the flimsy comb that it came on would ever be strong enough to hold it in anyone's hair.
The Kraft card looks good with the black embossed card, I can't remember what I used to highlight the embossing, it may have been a gold ink pad or some gilding cream, I did make it a couple of months ago so I've forgotten.
I'm using this notebook for the following challenges:-
WLTC, Mixed media,
Altered Eclectics, Mixed media,
RCS, Mixed Media.
Thanks for stopping by,

This is brilliant. I like that you are upcycling and creating an original piece in the process. Thank you for linking to Rhedd's Creative Spirit this month.
Don't know what I love more! That you saw a possibility in a cast off or just the sheer beauty of the combination of elements. This is brilliant and wonderful and lovely!
