Tea Party Notepad

Hi everyone!

I'm back again! This time it's not with a card, but with a gift! I decorated a junior notepad as a present for a dear friend of mine. I'll be staying with her this weekend for a few days with my 2 boys. She lives in beautiful Henniker NH which is where I use to live. It'll be a fun visit, especially where they have horses, dogs, chickens, pigeons...my boys will have a blast!

I made lots of the junior notepads that are cut in half and sold them last year at craft shows, but last year I also did one for the full pad just making some adjustments on the measurements. I've been using that pad all this time, but just never got around to making another one. I thought this would make a nice present for her. I'm hoping to make a matching card to go with this before I leave.

Here's the outside of the notepad. I love those yellow pearls on it.

Here's how I decorated the inside, a beautiful verse for her to see.

The inside can't have anything too thick in it, but there's still plenty of ways to decorate it.

I'm submitting this to the Dare to Get Dirty challenges on SCS. This time it's for 4 different challenges!

For stamps: Scripture Collection #1 (Our Daily Bread Designs).
For papers: tea party DSP, certainly celery (SU).
For Ink: black (Versafine).
Accessories: labels eight #4 (Spellb), fiskers rub-ons by Kimberly Poloson, ribbon (SU), adhesive pearls, charm/jump ring/chain, paper flowers, branch w/leaves die (Sizzix), corner rounder, boho blossom punches (SU), frond punch (MS), rick rack.

That's it for now! Thanks for looking!

Blessings!

Kathy
