Knit Happens!

Hi all! Hope you are enjoying your week! I just finished teaching a class at my local knit shop (my other craft addiction) and so, I wrapped up the class with this little gift! I found some little notebooks at Mikes' for a buck and I thought they would be fun to alter! It's a perfect size to stick in your knitting bag to make pattern notes. I LOVED how the pen is attached! No more digging around to find a pen! HA!
The paper is The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby. All of the stamps are from Amuse. The ribbon I found at Mikes too. Putting it together was just layering paper! The center circle punch is a 1" punch, the layer is 1-1/4" and the base is a scalloped circle punch from Stampin' Up.

Here's a close up!
So, that's it my friends! The paper has been flying in my craft room and my mother and I's hands are officially inky! So.... stay tuned! We'll have more to come!

EXCITING NEWS!

We're only days away from the launch of a BRAND NEW product line for Shimmerz! Wait til you see these FIVE new colors!

Julie, you find the coolest things at Michaels. You are quite the shopper. This is an adorable idea and I sure wish I had some of them on hand as I need to make 5 quicky gifts (since I have waited so long) for this weekend. I love what you done with them!

Have fun with your Mom!

What a cute little notebook! It is really a nice creation! I did one a long time ago and I'm about to repeat it! I just loved how it turned out! And it is the perfect gift to have around and give out when we're in a hurry for a quick gift.
