Try it Tuesday ~ altering a composition notebook.....

This a very fun project ~ give a whole new look to a composition notebook or spiral notebook.  I used Modge Podge ~ but what ever you like to hold your pattern paper to the cover and back cover.  Then comes the fun part ~ ink it up, machine sew or hand sew on it or on embellishments. I machine sewed on the circles and then adhered them to the front cover.  I used  a Teresa Collins book plate, some Prima's, small brads, and just for fun~ the packaging that the Prima's came on!! I dangled a Tim Holtz charm from the bottom of the Prima cardboard.  The best part is the title~ I named it " little thrills", because that is what it is like when I get a high five on a layout and gets published!!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day today!!!!
