Small Journals with Doodlebug and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L~

Hi all!
Today I'm sharing some small "doggy journals" over
on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.  I'm using the
 doggone cute collection by Doodlebug Designs. 

I used my Zutter paper cutter to create my own small journals
but you could also use a small spiral notebook.

As always I have all the details over on the Scrapbook

Adhesives by 3L Blog.  Hope you will take a look.
Super cute for little hands this Summer.

Thanks for stopping by!

Try It Tuesday~ scraps, what they are good for!!

Hi guys!!

I know you have a box of scraps, I think everyone does.  I always try to use

 them for small 

projects.  Kinda of like a freebie to me~

I have a drawer for every color.  Comes in handy to

 have them labeled too.

Started out with these cuties~3 for $1 from the dollar store. 

Now is where the scrap papers come in.   Pick out papers that are big enough

 for the front and back of the small note books.

I used X-Press It tape (like score tape) and adhered the paper to the front cover.

Then take scissors and cut around the cover (don't even need to sand the edges).

Gather up chipboard stickers and embellishments to add to the front covers.

I just used odds and ends of paper collections for the decorations.  I added some

word stickers to the front also.

Now for the reason~

My mom is in an asisited living facility and my sister had this awesome idea  for us to make crafty gifts, for the ladies that assist my mom.  Sis put a basket in her room and we are trying to keep it full of crafty goodies.  Mom likes the basket too, she gets lots of vistors!!!

Just a little thank you and a little act of kindness go far:)

Try It Tuesday~save those boxes!!

Hi guys!!

Save those boxes, you know the ones that are super cute or have bright colors~ yes those!

Here is what I did  with a stack of them I had been hanging on to~

I cut them up and made some little 4 X 4 notebooks.

I have made these before but I sure would rather have these little notebooks in the

 closet instead of the stack of boxes!!! Great little gifts too!! And did I mention~easy!!!!!

These are going to a fundraiser!!!

I put old pattern paper in this one :) ~

Great notepaper :)

You can also use the rings to hold the notebooks together.

Try it!!!!!

Photo Stamp~ Eiffel tower

 Hi, Connie here,  with a fun, easy, project using the Photo Stamp/Eiffel Tower and the Quote Stamp/Sensational.

All you need is a couple little notebooks like these.  I didn't buy anything, just used what I had on hand.

 I stamped the image on some cardstock and used my Ranger inks, to add some color. I then glued the piece  to the front of the notebook.  I added some twine and a button.  I highlighted the word journal from the Quote stamp for the label on the front.

 I stamped the inside with the same Quote stamp/Sensational, I used to snag the word journal from.

I hope you enjoyed this project.  A great teacher gift!!! Take a look in the store at the fabulous stamps!!
