Note book & Bookmark

After making the bookmarks last night, a friend of mine commented on how nice they where and how she would LOVE one of them herself. I said I would make her one. Well I started making it tonight and at the same time I thought, it would be much better if it had a matching book to go with it. Well last week I got some notebooks from Home Bargain's for 19p each and they are quite thick books also. I would love a bind it all, so that I could make them myself, but then I wouldn't be able to make a blank book for 19p with it would I!

My 19p bargain, they are around 100 sheets of lined paper inside these and they are A5 in size.

And here it is (this is the front view) once I had altered it. Along with the bookmark.

I covered the frond and back covers in a purple mirror card, then used some DCWV fairytale papers. I edged them with fine gold peel-offs, added the I believe! chipboard tag (which I really don't think goes with it). I then used my new fairy and embellish (from dovecraft) stamps using stayzon black ink. I then found four contrasting ribbons (all shades from within the paper/mirror card) and tied them to the rings of the book.

The tag is made using the same mirror card as on the book, the same paper range. I cut the paper into sections and edged with peel offs again, then used the fairy stamps once again. I used the same four ribbons as on the book to tie on the top and made a bow using all four ribbons.

This is a back view of the book and bookmark.
