Stamped Stuff: Sep Projects - Composition Book

I thought I'd save the best project from my September classes for last.  This is a darling composition book I found at Wal-Mart.  They had several great new patterns, herringbone, stripes, and polka dots.  The best thing - since I got them during the back to school sale - I got them for .40 cents each!  What a fun 3D project for my stamp class.  




The picture came out a little funky - those actually are normal striped lines.  I looked at some composition book samples on-line, but they all had the whole cover covered up with cardstock and I didn't want to do that, so I kind of improvised.  I cut a square of Cherry Cobbler and rounded the corners to go over the Composition Book label.  Then I stamped the NOTES using my new alphabet set - Jaynes Type.  It's $43.95 for you, but I got it for free - it was an incentive for participating in a focus group.  Seeing as I always have an opinion on anything, that's a match made in heaven!  I just did another one this week, so I'll have to do a little shopping in my catalog again. 

Then I added a little white Grosgrain ribbon and a little flower made with my Fun Flowers die.  I had these little star shaped rhinesones floating around my stamp room, so I tossed it in the center for a little bling.  I use that Fun Flowers die all the time - it's an easy way to add in some extra color to any project - $32.95 and it cuts 3 different flower shapes and two types of centers. 

Of course, you have to have a matching pen to go with your snazzy new notebook.  I just take RSVP pens, roll up a little scrap of designer paper and shove it down in the barrel.  Quick and easy, but people think they are soooo cool.
