Embellished Notepads

Good Morning!  I'm sharing an idea inspired by Papertrey Inc. Monday challenge.  In the challenge, Melissa made mini notebooks.  I wanted to make something for the challenge, but I also wanted it to be something I would use.  SO...I decided to embellish some note pads that I have and use.  You probably have several of these lying around your house and you can also make them prettier and more fun to use as I did.

So here are the two notepads that I decided to embellish.

Then I just added some scrap paper that I had to the top front section.

Then I die cut some "flowers" from the button dies from Papertrey Inc and some leaves and hot glued them on the top.  And I used some stickles in the middle of the flowers.  I stamped a sentiment at the bottom as well as some flowers and leaves and Voila! The notepads were complete!

Colored plate

Hi Everyone! A quick post because I wanted to play along with the Monday Challenge at PaperTrey Ink...

I colored the Luxe Background plate with my Copic Markers R22,24,89.  Then I used distress inks to color the background.

For the sentiment I used PaperTrey Inks Think Big Favorites #3 and the flower is from the Beautiful Brushstrokes set.

Thanks for taking a look!

So I decided to make a How to Video on You Tube.  Hopefully if I get good feedback I will make and post more.

Here is a picture of the card I make in the video...
