You Can Do It - An Altered Notebook

I was having so much fun with this weeks Wednesday Stamp Club challenge that I just had to make something else over.

What's the challenge?

* reuse or recycle anything you can find that would work on your project

* use green or anything with a St. Patrick's Day theme

Well I don't have any MFT St. Patrick's Day related stamps yet

but I can definitely add some

green to my project. :) This time around I decided to give this plain, generic notebook (which you can see on the right) I found at the $1 bin at Michael's a good MFT makeover and this is what I ended up with (front and back):

I used Digi papers from the Cocoa Couture Paper Templates at ScrapGirls.

This is so great:

if you own photoshop they provide a pattern for you and you get to decide the color scheme!! I love that!!! Plus it's always right there on your computer - so easy to use, print on white card stock paper you can buy at Staples and you're ready to go. Awesome!

Oh and the little strips of green you see are from the Girl Friday collection by Cosmo Cricket.

I love coupling all these sassy sayings MFT has with images that gives them a double meaning...like here: I coupled my zen focused WTG girl with the saying "You Can Do It" fromEssential Sentiments as a little reminder

to breathe again. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you like the new look of my blog!! Took me forever to get it tweaked! lol

til' next time :)
