Repurposing, Notebooks and More

Using vintage books and stamps, I've put together some notebooks with blank pages. It's amazing what can be done with things people just throw away. The first notebook is about the size of a postcard and has pages of an old book called Shadow of a Bull collaged into the cover with a teapot painted on top of it. I have a thing for the Kawaii food with faces images. The second notebook is an ATC (artist trading card) with stamps collaged into it. Collect those stamps from your mail and you could make a great cover to a sketchbook for yourself!

Bachelorette Party Craftiness

In an effort to provide a bachelorette party that coordinated with the colors of a friend's wedding, I decided to make the invitations and make them look a little more classy. A fun piece of advice when making cards - sew ribbon or fabric onto the cardstock. It definitely stands out. Making invites versus store-bought ones can also be handy because you don't have to write the same information multiple times. Since I had some extra paper after making the invites, I also made a notebook titled, "Notes for the Bride," in which people at the party can write personal messages to the bride to be. At the bottom of each page in the book is a little saying such as, "Last fling before the ring," among other more witty quotes. Another tip - consider looking online for some free fonts to make your cards extra unique.

All the fabulous invites have already been sent out, but these are the remainders.
