ORIENTAL BUSINESS CARD HOLDER
I made this to hold Business Cards the info is whited out but you can see the original line
in which they are held. The top flap looks a little crooked in the photo above, I think it is
just the angle I took the shot.

NOT ANOTHER NOTEBOOK!
Yeppp another notebook hehehehe. I used velour paper back to back for the spine on
this one. I mounted a normal blank paged notepad by attaching it to the backing
with hook & loop (Velcro). When it runs out, just replace it. I covered the front and
back with rice paper as I had surplus from early years of crafting, it actually looks
quite dainty and has a soft feel to it. Looking back I would not have used white
card on the insides back and front, but now think it’s an advantage as I will cover
the inside neatly with the same matching rice paper. I stamped and chalked the
image for the front and embellished it with some micro beads and a stone
in the top left corner. There is also a small eyelet in the center/top of the
spine with some ribbon and beads hanging.

VINTAGE NOTEBOOK
This was just some Zutter play!! I did also stamp each page within to match. Will try
and take some better photo’s, the ones I took did not come out too well, lighting
was poor.

JOURNEY NOTEBOOK
Glad you like it Anne!! No sooner had I made this and had thoughts of altering the
the inserts inside it, a very dear friend in protest grabbed it and said, I’ll have it!!
I made this little notebook and stamped the inserts to match and when they run out,
just stamp some more. Why I was going to alter it is so it held more pages. The
hinges are made out of Tim Holtz-Grunge. The paper is from the series Once Upon
A Time.

TRAVEL ACCORDION

back. It measures 1 cm x 1 cm and has 12 pages in all.

Trina, Glad you put up the notebook you made.
I am glad I took it off you, so you could not do any
more to it, I loved it the way it was.
Love Anne
