ABC Monday!


Um, that's Anything But a Card Monday!! LOL!! So whatcha think of my little journal? Ain't it the BEST? OMG, I just LOVE how this turned out. My daughter is one of those dieters that writes down what she eats so I thought this would be perfect for her. She's gonna have a fit over this!! I just know it!!


Ok, so I started by printing Mildred Box of Chocolates from Bugaboo Stamps onto some Fanboy Manga drawing paper and colored her with my Copics. Now of course, since there is CHOCOLATE candy in the image, I HAD to pull out my Expresso Dimensional Pearls. This stuff looks so much like chocolate it's not funny! I almost picked it off and ate it myself! Mmmm-mmmm! LOL!! Ok, so then I matted Mildred with some SU Basic Black CS and adhered her to this DP from October Afternoon's Thift Shop collection. I matted the DP panel with some white CS and then added this striped ribbon tied in a cute bubbly bow. The computer generated title was printed on some white CS as well and punched out with my SU large oval punch and I matted it with some SU Basic Black CS punched with the SU Scalloped oval punch. The little notepad I used is 2 1/2"x 8" so I made a cover using some SU Basic Black CS and scored it twice at the top to square off the notepad fold at the top. I applied some Score Tape to the back of the notepad and adhered it to the inside of the back cover. Then I adhered the DP/image panel to the front of the cover and added a business card magnet to the back so she can keep it on the refrigerator. Pretty cool, huh? I just love it! This would be a great idea for a shopping list notepad too! Ok, well that's it from me today. Be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know what ya think and I'll see ya back in the hen house tomorrow! {{{hen hugs}}}
