Decorated Art Book

Here is a drawing book that I decorated for my niece. I bought a set of two drawing books from Marshal's and put pretty paper on the cover. 

These penguins are from Simply Charmed. The letter are from Plantin School Book.

These lion is from Create a Critter.

She likes penguins.

I made this quite awhile ago and havent posted it yet. She liked it and hopefully you do to.

 Here is a candy bar wrapper I used Hot Air Balloon Riley on. I wrapped a Hershey bar in green paper and crimped the edges. Then added the decorate paper, brads, and ribbon. I colored Hot Air Balloon Riley with Copics and inked the edge.

Here is a notebook I made for one of my students. If you would like to see how I made the background paper click here.  This was a notebook I bought for $1 and took apart and decorated then put back together.

Now head over to Riley and Company to see all the new releases and pick up your favorites.

My Little Altered Notebook

I actually made something for myself. I altered this little notebook that I got from Michael's in the dollar section. I had a hell of a time with this one for some reason. I guess I was having an off day because normally altering notebooks is easy but this one was not. However when it was all said and done it came out cute.

The inside of this notebook had a second thicker page that I added the paper to as well.

The back of the notebook.

I cute the turtle from Create a Critter at 1 inch.

Altered Notebooks

I joined a notebook swap. I was testing out some ideas and this is what I came up with so far.

Since I had some left over paper and little notebooks I made a matching notebook to go with it.

I like how simple and pretty the big ones are but they may need a little some more added to them.

The little one definitely needs a little something more to decorate it. Not sure what yet but it will come to me.
