Take Note!

May's second challenge was to make a notebook of any size, shape, or sort. I choose to start with a small composition book and see where it took me!

I used the Serendipity Stamp Music is What Feelings (1180E). I just love this stamp and how elegant the font is. I used miscellaneous pieces of paper (great way to use up scraps). Inked them all with black ink. Stamped the sentiment on the front in black, and highlighted it with a silver pen. I then twisted a piece of metal into a treble clef and attached it to a piece of ric rac to use as a page maker in the notebook!


Thanks for looking, now hop on over to the over design team blogs to see what beautiful notebooks they have created.....

A Real Man's Card..

The first challenge for Serendipity for May is Masculine cards! So I channeled my dad and thought of all the Serendipity stamps I have which would he like to get on a card? And the winner is....

Buck and Doe (1183L) My dad is a huge deer hunter and this card would certainly make him smile! The sentiment stamp I used is from the Bleeding Heart set (1114QCL)! I stamped the deer on a medium brown with a brown ink , the sentiment on a light brown in a black ink, and made the card from the darkest brown. I matted my deer image in black and then added brown photo corners from my stash and made those pop with some black brads! Then I matted the sentiment and added it to the card! Simple yet masculine!
