Recipes -notebook

I used this week's Let's Scrap sketch (left side) for a notebook. People will soon be buying stuff for Christmas (they start the 100 day countdown to Christmas on Sept 24 here and start playing Christmas music and decorating, so people start buying Christmas Stuff), especially those who are leaving for their countries at the beginning of December and need to have gifts to take with them, so I am getting ready for the fairs that will come soon.

Yellow Tuesday Trigger

Have a look at this week's Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World:

It immediately made me go and get my yellow papers! And since I had some black and white papers from my previous project on the desk, I used those as well. I also used a mannequin image to go with the "clothing" theme of the trigger. The image is a free digi stamp by Pop "N" Stick: there are some lovely images in the blog, like a beautiful Singer machine that I've already downloaded because I know I'm going to need it at some point the future, so check it out!!!

And here's my project:

There were different digis of the mannequin, and I chose the one with the scarf on. I'm so glad I did, because I love how this scarf turned out. It looks silky! 

And before I leave I wanted to share some good news. Another project of mine has been chosen for the CK Club spotlight this week. Two weeks in a row is great news!!!! Here is the spotlight.

Tuesday Trigger

I've been looking for something different these days. I've only been doing DT projects for some time, and I was feeling a bit in a rut. Nothing like a couple of projects that have nothing to do with DT duties to get the mojo flowing again. I found the perfect projects at Moxie Fab World, because they are really different from my DT challenges. And they are absolutely inspiring. This week's Tuesday Trigger is this:

It made me want to start working at that very minute! And this is what I came up with:

A little book for travel notes. From the trigger I took the colours, the patterns (polka dots and the stripey ribbon that shouted at me from the rack saying: "don't I look like the bottom fabric?) and the ribbon strips. 

I've had this stamp from Studio Calico for some time and never used it, though I love it, so this was my chance! Doesn't it look gorgeous?

If you feel inspired by this trigger, too, you have time to play until next Sunday (June 26th).

Notas

I created another notebook for this week's reveal at Let's Scrap. I can't help it, they look so cute that I think of them every time I see a sketch! I also used glitter+embossing powders on this one, love that combination!

Come and have a look at this week's sketch at Let's Scrap!

Notepad

It's sketch time again at Let's Scrap. And this time I used 1/4 of a sketch. Yes, you're reading right, just 1/4. I used the left half of the left side of the sketch. I altered a notepad, and I think it looks cute, though I'm not 100% sure about the ribbons on the top, so I may take them out.

These My Little Shoebox papers are so colourful, I feel like using them for a million projects! 

Crazy about notebooks!

I've only just discovered notebooks are a very easy way to work on a sketch, plus, they look absolutely yummy. I made this one for Let's Scrap's sketch 6-16-10:

And this one for Practical Scrappers' June 11 sketch:

I love the way they look, and I think they's make great presents, so I will probably work on a new notebook next time I have a present to give. No better present than spending time making a gift for someone you love!
