My Little To-Do Notebook

Published by Michele Boyer at 9:51 pm under Altered Items, My Designs, The Greeting Farm

Hi everyone.  I have another little altered notebook to share today.

One Day at a Time    GFODAAT

I picked up a couple of these little “travel-themed” note pads at Michaels for $1 each.  They are SUPER fast to alter.  The notepad is only 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ so it’s the perfect size for using scraps (which is what I did here).   A small strip of the striped patterned paper was the perfect size for covering the pen.

I colored and cut out The Greeting Farm’s Laundry image, adhering it over a bit of crocheted trim (gift from my friend, Jody). 

The sentiment, which I think is the perfect companion to this image, is part of the Encouragement Expressions set by Cornish Heritage Farms.

This was so quick and easy to alter.  I may go back and get a few more.   :)

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

    It is an amazing work from you. The way you have changed the whole look of the book is very good. Only a person with a very artistic mind could have done that. Keep up the good work.
