Back to School


Time for a new challenge at

The theme is 
"Back to School".

Using Library Fairy from our sponsors this week


I created an altered notebook cover.
The background was done with torn card stock 
that was pieced together mosaic style.
I brushed ink in 2 colors over the background
just to tone the colors down a little.
The teal colored card stock the fairy is attached to
was embossed and the clipboards were cut from
printed card stock.  A chipboard key was added.
I colored the image with pencils.

We hope to see your  Back to School projects at

Cute As A Button August Inspiration



Hi all!

Today I'm on the 
sharing an altered notebook I created using


I gathered my materials.
A Composition Notebook
Solid card stock
Autumn themed DP
The image which I colored with pencils

Next, I covered the notebook cover with the card stock & DP.

I fussy cut the image and gathered some embellishments.,
3 leaf shaped buttons from my stash
Lawn Fawn wood word (Story)
A strip of card stock

I adhered the embellishments above and ended up adding
some washi tape on the top on bottom of the card stock strip
and thought a little something else was needed, so added sequins.
Finished product


Be sure and check out all the great products available at

And join in our Anything Goes Monthly Challenge at

and share your Cute As A Button projects!

Until next time,
Happy Crafting!

Aug/Sept Challenge at MHKDesigns

It's time for a new challenge at

Just like every month, we have a prompt
for you to use as inspiration
unless you use something from
MHKDesigns. In that case you can go with
Anything Goes.

Here's the prompt.
Use colors and/or photo


My project is a mixed media canvas




I started by adhering crumpled tissue paper with gel medium
to the 10" x 10" canvas to give texture.
I used acrylic paints and metallic screen print ink
to cover the tissue paper.  I used gold metalIic ink on the edges. 
The image was colored with pencils and fussy cut
and placed on a doily and die cut.
I added lace, chip board scrolls and paper flowers.

What will you be inspired to create?
