Decorating Notebooks

 I joined a ladies bible study...and we get handouts to take home; they're 3-hole punched.  I really wanted something purty to keep 'em in,  I have plenty of 3 ring binders lying around.  So, I took a black binder and started gluing on pages from an old book using stick glue. I glued them onto both sides and then embellished a little.

Not as good a picture as I'd hoped.  I used blue floral stickers and a few others,...and then wrote Phil. 4:3.

The back.

I also needed a new idea book, a journal that I can sketch my ideas in.  This time I grabbed a composition book and some more book pages.

Ugly composition book.
Glue pages on and trim edges.  Black washi tape with white polka dots. Bits and pieces from books, magazines.
Here it is... I used a picture I copied from an old book and letters I cut out from magazines.  Can you see the letters at the bottom?  They read: Bright Ideas

Hopefully that is just what I will log into this journal; bright ideas.  I really love journalling...

Inside.... See the first page?  That clock is on the agenda!  It's a page from a Pier 1 catalog.  I have been dying to make that clock. ....Next time maybe?
