here's a short post today...My daughter will be going back to school on Monday! she's excited to start again...with that she wants all her things decorated! How could I say no? so I got her composition book and altered it a bit =) I used the Aloha HK sizzix die and the retro metro letters to make her name. I used the pretty paper from the DCWV.
here is the secret to be able to use a 12 x 12 DP to cover the front and the back and only have to use one sheet...cut the DP exactly in half...so you have 6"...use the corner rounder to do the one side of the corners. so now you have two (2) - 6" x 9 3/4"...then you have enough to do the back side of this composition book. then you can use any CS 4" x 9 3/4" to cover the binding of the book. I decided to stamp it as well, so it didn't look too plain. my BFF made one for her daughter and one person commented on it by telling her to use contact paper to cover it, otherwise it takes a beating...which I know it does. So I had some laminating paper and I covered her book front to back. I hope it survives the school year!
thanks for stopping by today!
we will make it to the weekend!
