A Notebook

Hi

Today I want to show you a notebook I've made using my Cinch.

It measures 8 x 8 inches and has plain pages inside, so it could be used for anything - notes, sketches, ideas, clippings.  I also added some pockets for keepsakes.

The image is by Krista Smith at Saturated Canary and is called Copica.  I coloured the image using my Copic Markers, here's a close-up:

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Fab n Funky Challenge - Add Ribbon or Lace
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes

The papers are from  K & Company, the striped ribbon, clip and buttons are from Stampin' Up, the doily is from my stash and the ribbons tied to the O Wires are also from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you like it.
