Blog Candy!

THIS POST WILL STAY AT THE TOP UNTIL MONDAY 19TH APRIL. 
SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS.

Recently I bought a couple of spare notebooks that I have decorated and am offering them as Blog Candy.

So if you would like the chance to win a pink notebook, you need to be a follower of my blog, leave me a comment and I will enter you into the draw. 

I will draw a winner on Monday 19th April, so you dont have long!

Up close for the finer details of the velvet flower with a gorgeous silver flower centre, from The Hobby House.



I also got these gorgeous flower charms from The Hobby House which I have tied on with ribbon.

Good Luck!

Pretty. Love how you've decorated the note book. Have to admit I've not decorated a Note Book yet. Must buy one and give it ago! I could draw my favourite sketches in it lol.

Thanks for some inspiration!

love this - really inspirational. I make lots of books with my Bind-it-all but never thought to cover a shop bought one. I may even make one myself as I have some of those papers.

Thanks for the chance to win it!

Thanks for yet more inspiration, Julie- what a great way to create a personalised gift, and in these financially broke times, making these will really help my present/Thank you gift list!
Really appreciate the way you post so much- as I can't get out to the craft shows, you keep me in touch with what's 'on-trend', so I look at your blog daily. You put so much thought and effort into creating and communicating on your blog, and this 'project' sums it all up in a kind gift!- thanks for the chance to win it-

Linda Carey said...

Hi Julie - what a lovely idea! I have a basketful of notebooks (used & undecorated) so I ought to take a leaf out of your book (pun! pun!) I wouldn't be without my notebooks as everything goes in them from my shopping lists, things to do, reminders, good books I need to make a note of, etc, etc. They're invaluable and I don't even throw them away - so you can imagine I even know what pressy I bought a friend 3 years ago! (Is that sad or organised?!?) Thanks for your (always) inspirational ideas! I can feel a notebook stamping moment comiing on!!!
Luv Linda

Wow! Decorated you would never guess that they started out as humble shop bought note books. Love the flower and the other embellies.

Hi Julie

Another gorgeous notebook. I love all the detail and the ribbons across the top. I am still a novice at all this so can I ask what you use to do your stitching. Is it a special craft sewing machine? Is it fiddly to do or is it quite simple? I must say the results are superb! Thanks alot!
