Notebook Set #2

Before we get to the altered items I want to ask a favor...

Nick was on a jump yesterday afternoon and his jump went well. As soon as he got back to his aid station (he is a combat medic in the army) he got called back to the drop zone. Two people that we know of got sent to UNC hospital for surgery - one with they think a broken back and the other has to get surgery to remove the pressure in his head.

I just ask you take a moment to say a prayer for them.

Day #2

I decided on this one to get fancy and add another color to the non-paper items. I thought maybe this would give a stand apart detail.

This paper was picked up from All That Scraps clearence section....I love this place becuase you get money back on what you purchase to use towards your next purchase!

The ribbon and cardstock is from this year's Stampin' Up! In Color line, and thecircle scalloped punch and brad are also SU! - not my favorite but it will do.

Notebook Set #1

My love of notebooks has gone crazy! I am going to do what some other girls do and post a few days on the same type of thing...my notebook sets! I made them all for a friend to give as hostess gifts for her baby showers. I hope she loves them!

Nick (my dear husband) had the rough job of drinking the Starbucks for me...I hate cold coffee tasting things...they have to have ice and whip cream to be good....oh well -he survived!

The tins I got at Archivers in Ohio for $1 a piece, and the notebooks were on special at Office Max for $1 a piece, and the pens were 5 for $4.19.

The paper on this one was from All That Scraps - great online store! The Stampin' Up! corner punch was of course used as it is my favorite and the brads were also from SU! ~ Courtesy of my purchase from Michelle :)
