Rachel's May Results

Using this month's classic kit, I altered a composition book (Target, 98 cents) as part of a birthday gift for my dear friend, Joanna, who is a beach-loving kind of gal and a big fan of bright, cheerful colors (to match her personality).

Here is the cover:

I covered the inside cover as well (in green and blue to match the front and back covers). I wanted to cover up the school related charts printed inside.

And here is a look at the back cover:

This was a fun project. I used Zip Dry to adhere the paper and I sanded the edges. I'm not sure how it will stand up to the test of time (not to mention wear and tear). Fingers crossed.

Marieke's April Results

Wow, I think I am officially caught up...well, at least for a day or two, as I haven't started May's kit.


Another scraplift. I stole this idea from a card I saw on etsy. I colored the strips of text different shades of brown using my Tombow markers. The leaf stamp was from the $1 bin at Michael's - I picked it up last year some time. I was a little bummed because when I went to pull it off the plastic thing the stamps come on, it ripped the tip off. It's still usable, but I don't like that it's broken. Man, those things are really stuck to that plastic the first time you go to use them. :-(


Extra Credit:


I stamped it first on white paper, then colored the image using cheapy watercolors. Not enthralled with the end result, but it'll do.
