edited to add: These notebooks were photographed on a refurbished printers tray that I hope to store reinkers and precious stamps in.
These notebooks were created as gifts for a birthday boy (turning 9) and a birthday girl. Lots of idea-ology goodies used on these!
Striped notebook materials: Graphic 45 papers, frog & date dial images are from Lost & Found Salvage Stickers, a Papertrey Ink number die and Sizzix Tag & Bookplate die were cut from Grungepaper (crown is from a retired Grungeboard pre-cut set covered with 7gypsies Conservatory papers); the bookplate was painted with Distress Tarnished Brass Crackle paint and the numeral nine was inked with Crushed Olive Distress ink; Facets, Game Spinners and Sprocket Gears further embellish the notebook.
The girl's notebook uses My Minds Eye papers, Stampers Anonymous Odds and Ends stamps which coordinate with the Sizzix Ticket Strip die. Bling is Zva Thriving Crystal; the pearl baubles and chain tassel are fastened onto a Lace Chain using jumprings. The French doily was colored with Spun Sugar Distress Stain.
Interior features a handy pocket. Both notebooks use idea-ology corners set with a Home Pro LR (bonniesbest.com). Congratulations to Gilda on the Memory Box giveaway! Thank you and best wishes for a great weekend!
