I mentioned in the previous post that Laura & I were going to issue a challenge to use of some of those $1.00 notebooks that we all grab at Michael's, Joanne's and the $1.00 stores. We'll be running this challenge for a week, so you have some time to play! At the bottom of this post is a Mr. Linky widget to add your project link to the the challenge so you'll be entered to win a package of goodies from Paper Addiction!
This notebook has rusty orange colored lines and flowers printed on the inside pages, so I wanted to use paper that coordinated. I also combined this with this week's sketch challenge on SCS. The paper used was from the new Pink Paislee line called "Captivating". You can buy these papers individually or in a bundle . The pink paislee line is currently 25% off until this weekend.
The border, flourish and flowers on this project are from a Fancy Pants stamp set that I bought about a year ago. Pollen dust maybe? I stamped the flowers on scraps from the Pink Paislee paper, then used one of the fabulous corduroy brads from the decorative brad pack for the largest flower's center. I also used a little of the Pixie Stix glitter in Orange Crush for the small heart at the bottom. These little test tubes of glitter are great.... easy to store and fun & funky colors as well as some great basics. Plus they are only $1.49 right now (reg. $1.99). The orange is one of my personal favorites... it's my favorite color!

O boy, I love both of your Notebooks..I love the Old feel of the #2 one and the brightness of the First one your layouts are great on both of them..
All of your notebooks are lovely, I've added some of mine.
What a great challenge, Michelle! I've created a recipe book with a Halloween theme.
I love the idea of matching the cover to the inside pages - now to find a book with a fancy middle ;)
