Cover Up.

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.

Animal Crackers.

Are you ready for a new challenge theme?

This fortnight at Southern Girls the theme is

Animal Crackers!

As usual there are some amazing sponsors for the challenge, I used Rooster by Oak Pond Creations, they really do have some brilliant images, well worth taking a look at!

Check out the challenge blog for full details of all of the sponsors this time!

I don't think I've ever coloured on Kraft using Polychromos before, I'm not entirely sure that I'm happy with it, I definitely need more practice anyway!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Whoopsi Daisy, Wings,

Opus Gluei, Feathers,

AFC, Feathers.
