Cowgirl Journal

Time to get your creativity flowing for a new challenge over at Cut It Up:  Alter a Notebook!  I have to admit, this challenge was right up my ally since I love school/art supplies!  I have notebooks, notebook themed stamps, clipboards, clipboard themed dies and stamps, pencils, pens, markers, clips, folders,,,, you get the idea!  I have Mead Journal Notebooks for everything.  I take them to classes, right notes, etc.  So, to share this obsession....I mean love....for such things, I made this notebook for my grand-girl to write down her horsey ideas.  

I covered the journal in Kraft Paper.  I used a variety of stamps to stamp the paper and used paper/vinyl cuts to decorate the front.  I painted over the entire front with Gesso to keep everything down and protected since this might go out to the barn and trailer.  Of course, we needed a little bling and a big bow to top it off!

CTMH Paper/Cardstock:  Kraft, Pixie, Cotton Candy
