A Journal notebook with S.e.i.~

Hi guys!! I'm here with a journal notebook using the Florets Collection by S.e.i.  In the collection it has a sheet of cork paper.  It's not paper, it is cork but the size of paper.  I really wanted to create something with this, very cool, sheet of cork.   I decided to cover a composition notebook with it ~

I started out like this~

I used double sided tape to hold the cork paper in place. Place the double sided tape as close to the edge of the composition notebook as you can.  The cork will chip off, if it is not right on the edge.  Cut some one inch strips of paper to cover up the seem.  Take a pillow box and cut it half and use the bottom to hold the flowers.

The Florets die cut flowers can be arranged like a bouquet.  The centers are in the Florets sundries pack.  I also added Bright paper doilies under the pillow box for color.  Speckled with black Tumble Dye to finish it off. Looking forward to using this journal notebook.  

Thanks for stopping by~

Covered Journal Books

These are so easy to do and what a great little gift they make. I used Modge Podge on these to adhere the paper but you could use Xyron 250 or the Cheetah. After the paper is down I used a sanding block to make the edges and corners smooth. It just takes a minute to hit it with some sand paper. The next thing I did was add some flowers and rub on's. I just used what I had on hand. These are done simple. I like simple - give simple a try. Thanks for stopping by!!
