Super Easy Sewn Books

This is an idea that I found in blog world. If you are like me, you are always looking for a scrap piece of paper in your purse. Well, why not keep all of your notes in this cute little book. They are easy to make. Directions can be found on the following link here. I hope you enjoy them. I am thinking of making them for my roommates at Convention.

 All supplies are SU! unless otherwise noted:

Monogram Sweet Alphabet set (115462)
Just Add Cake DSP (available July 1)
Scallop Circle Punch
Various Circle Punches
Peach Parfait Card Stock and ink
So Saffron Card Stock
Sewing Machine (non-SU!)
Stamping Dimensionals
Copy Paper (non-SU!)

This is the first time that I have ever used my sewing machine to sew on paper. It was really easy, but not without a challenge or two.  I will definitely be doing this again. I made 5 in a matter of 30 minutes. And you can get 2 books out of 1 sheet of 12x12 paper.

I hope you have a great Tuesday!

Paper flower made with Scallop punch

Isn't this paper flower just the cutest thing? I found the idea when I was blog hopping the other day and I just had to try it. You can find all the details on how to make it at the Queen of Ink http://queen-of-ink-kz.blogspot.com/2011/06/paper-flower-technique-tutorial.html here. She has it on a card, but I am thinking about using it on the front of a notebook. I have not decided yet. When I do, I will show it the finished project. For now, I am going to make some more flowers. They are just too easy and too cute. The possibilities are endless. I could add some sparkle by putting Dazzling Diamonds on the edges of the flower. Oh, I almost forgot one thing I did differently, is instead of just water, I used body spray (Honeysuckle to be exact). It meets the same purpose but you get the added benefit of a sweet smelling flower. How great is that?

Thank you again for checking out my blog. As I said, it would not be another 18 months before I posted again. I really am trying to do better. I am going to try to schedule several posts over the next few days while the girl is out of town and the creative juices are flowing. I have another really great card for tomorrow.

Supplies needed for today's project:
SU! Scallop Punch
Daffodil Delight paper scraps
brad
Small punch
spray bottle of water or body spray (non-SU)

*All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.
