This project is another altered notebook.

I colored the image with pencils, die cut and

layered on 3 other die cuts.

The composition book was covered with papers

from DCWV's Black Currant Stack.

I added some paper flowers, gem flourishes and

a chipboard title.

MHKDesigner Inspiration

Hello all!

Today's my day to share a little inspiration on the

MHKDesigns Blog!

I took an ordinary $0.50 composition book

and altered the cover to create a journal using

Beautiful Bottles.

I printed the bottle image twice, colored one with pencils and fussy cut.

The fussy cut image was popped on top of the other image

which I cut into a rectangle panel and matted.

I chose 4 coordinating papers from Graphic 45's Couture Collection.

One print was used to cover the front and back of the composition book.

The second was used behind the the focals. I took a piece of the

third paper and fussy cut the fashion images. The binding was

covered with the fourth paper. I added some black ribbon to the

binding side and another piece of ribbon to tie thee journal shut.

I used one of the sentiments from the Beautiful Bottles set

and added some paper flowers.

I hope I've provided little inspiration for you

and that you'll check out this set and all

the other products available at the

MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! 

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

your comfort zone!
