Altered Button Notebook

This notebook was in my box of treasure from Carly, it was a no brainer as to what I should do with it …..!

……. cover it with buttons and black and gold peel off strips.

As my sister is oft heard to utter “You have too much time on your hands!”  I shall keep this book in my work bag from now on, as I am forever scribbling ideas for both my blogs on bits of paper at work or waiting at the bus stop and then loosing them, hopefully a lovely new notebook will keep me organised!  Thank you Carly.

Display Box For Cards

When I take my cards into work it’s nice to display them in a pretty box to entice people to look!

I’ve had this small satsuma/orange box for ages and wondered what it would look like if I tarted up a bit.

So first,  I painted  the inside and corners using a cream Matchpot that  I’ve had for ages (think they cost me 10p for 3 from a recycling depot) and then lined the bottom of the box with a matching piece of cream card.  The sides are covered using a paper from My Mind’s Eye called  Mary Mary “Beautiful” So Cute Paper …. I’m quite pleased with how its turned out and it’ll serve it’s purpose for a while.
