Toronto here we come! Yes, that's right...while you are sitting comfy in your home, I am on the road to see the Emily & Nicky, from Stamping Bella! My passport is ready for its first trip across any border and my toes have a fresh coat of polish on them.
That aside I want to show you a recipe book {altered notebook} that I forgot I had not posted on my blog! Ahhh, I don't normally forget things like this, but outta site, outta mind. I was gathering up some cards to donate for some brave girls who are doing the 3 Day Walk, they are still raising their funds, and I figured they could sell my cards and keep the cash. Well, lo & behold, there was my notebook hiding under a pile of cards!!
When I first saw the Who's That Grillin' Guy in my mail, I thought about recipes, and I have a few notebooks waiting to be converted into something fun. I wanted to keep it masculine and there are so many things I would change now! Do you ever experience that? I used a combo of Graphic 45 papers and vintage & new buttons. The black metal book plate is grem Basic Grey or maybe 7 Gypsies? They have been around a long time in my stash and I figured I would use one...seemed like a guy embellishment. lol The hardest thing was not being able to put any glitter on it!! :( I have to share with you that My Favorite Things is having their 'one-click' challenge from now until 10 pm eastern, this tuesday 6/30. If you want a chance to win all the July release stamps, then get into the MFT forum on SCS and show us what ya got. All the deets are there, in the forum, under the 'one-click' challenge for July.
This is so cute, and what a great idea.
