Notebook number 2 and 3

Here are a couple more notebooks.... 

you can't see it, but I pierced the scallops on the left one.

Notebook 1

Taking a break from the cards, so I decided to  make a cover for a spiral notebook.  We go through these like crazy at my house!  Hubby needs one a month for RedLine, and I need them for all kinds of things home and school related.  So, here's the first one:

Simple Christmas and NOT pink

I did this one a while back, but just snapped a shot this morning....



Classic Thanks

A quick card for a Red Line customer. Looking at it in this picture I'm ashamed of the quality of the black ink.  It certainly doesn't look like that in real life; eewww.

Catalog CASE

Quick and easy, lacy and lovely.  The only thing that makes this card go a little slowly is cutting out the Pumpkin Pie colored images. 

Using some scraps and a new die

I had this paper sitting in my Christmas card box, so I figured I'd take the opportunity to use it up!  Love this cute little birdie from the SU! set For the Birds.  Also, I was able to use a new die from the Chalk Talk Framelit set I recently purchased.

Easy Event

This one was certainly not quick, but it was easy.  Love that Easy Events set.  Bummed it's now retired.  They didn't keep it long :(  The card is a CASE of one made by Heather Klump.

Throwing in Some Blue Christmas

Just for a little variety...

Still got a whole lot more Christmas to make!

Pink, but not Christmas

Thought I'd use an old, retired set that I love; Live Your Dream.  Can't for the life of me find my inspiration picture, but it's pretty close to the same.

 

Cards are Simple with the Right DSP

All I did here was cut a piece of this beautiful retired paper and tie a quick ribbon.  Simple and pretty.

....LOVED that paper.  Too bad they only gave you 2 sheets per pack.

Pink Christmas #2

So, why the pink Christmas?   I accidentally ordered a pack of Regal Rose cardstock before it retired, and I already had a full one!   It was supposed to be Tangerine Tango but I punched in a wrong number and didn't check my order, even though the system prompts you to check.  Oh well, I think the Pink Christmas is growing on me.

This one seems even more simple than the last, but tying the ribbon turned out to be not so easy, and the glittery embossed snowflakes... let's just say that I've decided glitter DOES look good everywhere!

 

I'm bummed this stamp set is no longer available; it sure makes for a quick and simple card!

 

Pink Christmas #1

I've started the Christmas cards.  I figured I'd better get started early this year.  Last year, I only made a few cards and about 60 people on my regular list did not get a card.  BAD ME!

Here's the first of many (I hope).

Pretty plain and simple... that's going to be the theme this year I think.

Clipboard of my own

Here's a clipboard I made for myself. 

 The back is covered with a plastic laminate so that the flowers don't peel back.  they are thick stickers from an old, retired Stampin' Up! Simply Scrappin kit.

I need to find a way to attach a pen other than tying it to the top.  I'm thinking of a straw like tube under the clip.  Hmmm... on the hunt....

Father's Day scrapbook page

Quick page, trying to decide how to add words to the "arrow" like the one below.  Also trying to decide on the embellishments for the bottom

based on the layout of this one
