Surprise! We're back! And this time is for real! LOL - Yes, so sorry we've totally abandoned you all haven't we! Holiday and Vacation time, summer activities and more have kept us away but we're all fully relaxed and have a bundle of renewed energy! We've been thinking long and hard about the scrapwhisper site recently and have come up with a new and improved plan - one that will fit right on into everyone's routines. We have some cool prizes to give away and we can't wait to get started! To find out more, check out the tabs across the top of this page!!
In the meantime, lets get started with our first challenge of September!!
This month Nilsa challenges you to alter a composition notebook.
For Nilsa's book she used leftover scrap papers and teeny tiny alpha letters. Instead of hand stitching or hand sewing she faux stitched the edge of the notebook too....
Once you decide the theme of your composition notebook gather all your supplies. For Nilsa's notebook she used:
Paper trimmer
x acto Knife
Tape Runner or adhesive of your choice
Distressing Ink
Ink
Tab puncher
Glass Mat
Chipboard and alphas
Scrap pieces
She started by tracing the notebook onto the paper. Then she cut the excess paper with her scissors. She used the atg gun to glue the kraft paper onto the notebook then sanded they edges, finishing with Tim Holtz distressing ink to distress the edges. She did exactly the same to her front cover.
Nilsa then went on to decorate the front cover. She used her puncher and cut out some tabs for the subjects of her notebook.
A nice quick and easy project thats brilliant for those of you going back to school! Want to see how Nilsa's Notebook turned out?
