I altered 2 A5 books, bought from Asda at 50p each and made 5 'post-it' books using beer mats (thanks Gina)...
It was a great feeling, as got to use my Bind it All again, dies and some of the many alphabet sets I have, I chose...
Lin - Girls R Weird and Go Slim
Kym - Funky Brush
Kelly - Azure
Jan - Sunset
Michelle - Script
Debbie - Mac'n'Cheese
Avril - Lime Light
The papers I used were from a pad of 6x6 K&Company 'School Days' and for 'Avril' a sheet from my Brenda Pinnick pad.... I inked the edges with some chalk cat eye inks....
The coloured pencils were from a sizzlit die, the apple and books are from a cuttlebug die and the chipboard flower is a Brenda Pinnick one... (the reason the 'Avril' book is decorated different is beacuse it's a thank you for looking after Steven on he's trip to Little Canada, she was he's one to one)...
I'm hoping this will help bring my mojo come back, shame it's nearly the school holidays though, Steven breaks up Wednesday lunch time, and with all the things we have planned for the 6 weeks, probably be too tired to do any crafting after he's in bed, lol...
But you never know, so watch this space...
