Sites of the week

There is a new stamp company on the block!…My Cute Stamps {fun lil’ name!!} I am excited that I am the Guest Designer for MCS this month. Today I have a fun and easy notebook to show you. First, I started off with the Spunky Nature set and made my own pattern paper…good idea in this economy!! I then matted it and stitched around the edges and then adhered it to another piece of cardstock, which is essentially the cover to the notebook.

To jazz up the cover a little, I used the EK Success Scalloped Scallop border punch {I loveeee this punch!!}. The strip with my name and the buttons were kinda an afterthought when I wanted to make it a little more personal. The notebook is bound with my Bind-It-All, but if you do not have a BIA you can still make these…easy peasy. In the office section of Wal-Mart they sell binder rings and you can punch holes in your covers and papers and then bind it with the rings. Just another sweet and simple gift for teachers or anyone else.

Alright, I’m outta here for now. See you tomorrow for another Sketch For You To Try. I’ll be taking some days off next week as I hang out with some family that is coming in today from out of town.
