ANYTHING BUT A CARD : BUGABOO STAMPS - an altered notebook

The images at Bugaboo Stamps are so varied that you will find one for almost any occasion... and this is my project for ABaC (anything but a card) Monday: 

I found this little padded pale kraft notebook with the cutest ombre hearts stamped on it,  and fell in love with it!

To alter it, I added white gel pen dots on the hearts, and coloured cord, and this little image that I coloured using Copics:

The image is called Jack and Diane - Love Circle

(do you remember the song 'Jack and Diane' by John Mellenkamp from 1982?)

I cut the image using a die and added some sequins as embellishments.

A PRETTY WINDOW CARD

I created this window card as a sample  for a workshop that I will be presenting to a (closed) craft group tomorrow morning.  This is the inside of the card that you finish first, and then you decorate the outside of the card with the scraps, offcuts and leftovers:

and so this is what the outside looks like:

I think the ladies are going to love making this card, and I  am so looking forward to the workshop!
