Take an ordinary note book ...

With a piece of Designer series patterned paper and a strip of ribbon, add a few Stamped images, and you have changed a very ordinary note book into a special gift for a friend.The sentiment is one of my favourites: "The way to know life is to love many things." By Van Gogh. Who can argue with that?
One should have many passions in life, as many as you can fit into your heart.Then there is the Woodrow Wilson quote: We grow great by dreams. But does a caterpillar dream of growing into a butterfly? I have stamped the images on whisper white and mounted them with dimensional adhesive onto square scallops of kiwi kiss cardstock. I have used the crystal effects to add a shiny dimension on top of each image. Notice how it changes the depth of the colour.
Materials:
Stampset: Dreams du Jour.
Cardstock: whisper white
Designer paper: Urban garden
Ink: Kiwi kiss
Ribbon: kiwi kiss and vanilla silk
Other: Crystal effects, square scallop punch, small note book.
