Crafted Wood Desk/Shelf Sitter

These Jenga Blocks had been sitting in my woodshed collecting dust, so I decided it was time to put them to better use!

Using some digital artwork from my stash (CherylFrancesArt) that I had printed on handmade Lokta paper, I created my very first Desk (aka Shelf Sitter) Sitter!

I cut the height of the Jenga blocks in half and the width of the paper was the perfect fit after I trimmed an inch from the bottom. I painted the blocks with FolkArt Cottage Green Milk Paint that I bought ages ago, attached the artwork with Mod Podge, distressed the edges for a well-loved look, added the text, and sealed everything with another coat of Mod Podge.

Measures 2.5 x 3.75 x 1.5 inches thick.

Fun little project, I'll definitely be making more! 

Book Notes & Wildflowers

 For these two little 4" x 6" notebooks papers used were from Echo Park; the Bookish collection and a floral collection from Carta Bella adding additional cardstock papers for note keeping. 

 Journaling cards and color paper clips were added in the Wildflower book.

 Laminated the covers and bound using The Cinch.

 Cheerful pocket size notebooks!

Funky Birds Notebook

This little chunky notebook was bound using The Cinch. Used two colorful blank greeting cards for the cover, glued them back to back and laminated them.

The elements throughout included more blank funky bird greeting cards, washi tape, colorful paper clips for envelopes & retro journaling cards (Echo Park Scrapbook Paper) and colored cardstock.

The book measures 4 x 5 inches.

Another simple project using blank greeting cards!

Gratitude Card Notebooks...Pens Added!

I had more of these mini pens in my stash so I decided to add them to the little Gratitude Card Notebooks I recently made.

Made the pen holders by adding a loop onto colorful binder clips.  I glued coordinating pastel elastic ribbons onto the binder clips using Gorilla Super Glue. 

The binder clip pen holders are removable! 

Simple method to make pen holders for any of your favorite notebooks!

Gratitude Cards Made into Notebooks

Simple project using boxed 4 inch square gratitude cards and turning them into mini notebooks.

Used double sided tape to adhere two cards back to back to create the covers and binding them with The Cinch. For the pages I used colored cardstock. 

Fun little pocket size notebooks to toss in your bag!

Easy, Peasy! 
 

Boho Cinch Notebooks

Bound these 4" x 5.5" notebooks using The Cinch, blank greeting cards and assorted colored cardstock & papers.

Also created boho stickers using digital images and printing them onto matte clear laser/inkjet full sheet labels.

For the covers I glued  two cards back to back on the top and bottom leaving an opening for side pockets. I also added a few of these pockets throughout the notebooks.
