Back to school time, right? So, I wanted to share a masculine project and here are two little notebooks created from the Natural Compostion Specialty Paper, Friendship Preserves (wood, clear) stamp set, and a bit of the Core'dinations card stock.
I used Soft Suede and Early Espresso ink to sponge the covers and embellished with some banner pieces from the First Edition Specialty Paper and Neutrals Patterns Designer Paper Stack.
The size of the notebooks were determined according to the size of the paper I began working with. I just pulled some paper from my printer, measured the "book covers" and cut my paper accordingly so that it folded in half to fit inside. The stars were hand sketched then cut out of the Core'dinations card stock to provide a little interest over top of the banner pieces.
Tied together with some Linen Thread makes for a nice presentation, don't you think?
