I`ve been playing with the Mega Nestibilitie dies again – this time a very quick notebook using the new cd from
Sharon Duncan - Past Times Beautiful Butterflies
After making the book card & the star card – click each one for the details
Within the book card link it will show you how to make the page that would be needed for this notebook
_________________________
I wanted to do delicate and as I found my pack of parchment I had lost I set about making it by selecting the image and using the snapshot tool pleased it into just a normal word processor document – changed the page to landscape and made sure the image was on the right hand side
I just used parchment for the front cover then rey text paper 160gsm for the inner pages
Also for quickness when I highlighted the image with the snapshot tool I made sure there was none of the border so I got a plain edge all around – it just made for a quick design no measuring etc
The pages have been edged in Sakura Gold Pentouch & the Organza ribbon is attached by poking a fine hole through the centre of the pages outwards using the very sharp pokey tool and using the long pointed tweezers to feed the ribbon through and then tie into a bow
So here`s the notebook

I printed 5 pages with a reduced size image of the butterflies – folded the sheet in half and the cut it out with the same largest die – just make sure the image in in the bottom corner when you cut

Sadly the image is only on the right hand side nothing on the front of the page – but you could stamp a butterfly in the pages on the front or decoupage a butterfly and add to those pages

Here is that ribbon I made the other day – I was going to keep the back plain but having this to hand i`m really pleased to add this as it just needed a little something – click here if you missed the ribbon workshop
It could have just been as easy to add a sentiment if you wished to this part
the ribbon has been adding using 3mm red line tapeunder the gold pentouch edge near the spine
Again here is a workshop of that technique – click here - points 5 & 6 are the ones you need for that

Just a close up of the detail in the images – I have to say the photo isn`t 100% clear but that was me not the image – I printed this on transparency setting and it came out so well

I hope you have enjoyed this notebook and a bit about it
