In this post, we alter a plain spiral pad and create a vintage notebook like no other and a place to keep everyday life's notes & ideas organized. First, we cut out all the designs. The notebook used in this project is a Mead Five Star and measures 5 inches x 7 inches. Print out an extra page and trim it to fit the cover. Place over the spirals to crease them so you can see where to snip a line to allow for the metal spirals and glue it to the existing plastic cover. The cover already looks done with one printout of the  ​Victorian Paris Sewing Printable  and glue

New Coloring Booklet Casual Chic

We have a new digital download available: It is the  Casual Chic - Modern Fashion Plates Coloring Booklet   featuring 12 girls dressed in cute outfits along with accessories such as eyewear, hats, purses, and some even have a dog with them.  All of the girls measure over 6 inches in height and print onto 3 pages (landscape). The outfits are fun and unique. You will always be challenged to use various colors while practicing your shading and blending techniques. I had such a blast creating the examples for this project.   Tip: If you have not already, this is a good way to get to know what markers you have. There is a color swatch area to label and try out colors before committing onto a character, which is especially helpful for skin and hair. In my case, I got to know which skin tone markers I had. Between 2 sets of brush tip markers, I was able to create a variety of skin colors so that each girl did not look identical to the next. The best part is that you do not have to own the sam

Hand Lettering Practice Vintage Tattoo Style

  We have a new download available to practice hand lettering in the style of "Sailor Jerry" which has an artsy, California, tattoo vibe. Hand lettering is a wonderful way to draw letters and do something artistic with minimal supplies. All you need is paper, pencil and a marker. Add a rubber stamp to embellish your creation.  This is a modified version of the common tattoo font that I created and am sharing it with you. Practice your hand lettering on handmade cards, scrapbook and journal pages. This is a 2-page pdf download with grids squares.  Tip: Cut the pages in half to fit a mini clipboard if you wish. Stamps seen above: Anchor Rubber Stamp Beware of Pirates Rubber Stamp Ships Wheel Rubber Stamp Hollywood Icon Series Betty Grable Rubber Stamp  (Limited Edition) The ink used is stamped in Ranger's Distress Oxide Speckled Egg (a light color, perfect for the background designs).

Mini Journal Template How To

  ​ Journals are always a good idea, no matter what the size. There doesn't seem to be mini journals you can buy anywhere, so let's make one (or a few). In this project, we create a mini journal sized at 3 inches by 4 inches with 14 pages. Decorate with stamps, stickers, practice your hand lettering, whatever you like.  Alternately, make it a flip page (like a book) or accordion style just by alternating how you glue the pages together. And of course, you get to decorate the cover as you wish. I decided to cover this journal cover with die cut leaves. The theme of the journal is an "Ode to Trees." Every page on the right side has a tree that has been stamped. On the left page, is a glued or sticker item.  View some of our tree stamps, click here . Here is a link  ​to view our free, mini journal printable template  of the cover and inside pages including score lines. You can always just hole punch or sew your journal any way you wish, but this shows how to glue the pag
