Prettie Noted Wednesday

It's Prettie Wednesday!  This week it's my turn to challenge you and it's your chance to win a $15 coupon to the Paper Pretties Boutique.  Just add a picture of your creation for this week's challenge to the Weekly Challenge Gallery by next Tuesday for your chance to win.  Ok, here's the challenge:  since we are coming up on a brand new year, I thought it'd be fun to make (or alter) a notebook in which to record special blessings, events, etc.  You could even make a special photo album or a journal, whatever would be most useful to you!

To give you some inspiration, the Prettie Girls have some beautiful projects to share and as always please start at Christie's blog so you don't miss even one!  I plan on using mine to record blessings and things that I am especially thankful for throughout the year so my Praise & Thanksgiving stamp from Paper Pretties is perfect!

My little notebook measure approximately 6"x2.5" and I used my Bind-it-All to put it together. I also used the flower stamp from Sassy Shoes and the circle stamp from Sassy Circles.  Hopefully you can see that on the Aqua Mist panel I stamped the circle stamp using Aqua Mist ink.  Then I stamped the flower stamp inside the circle using Fresh Snow ink. On the sentiment panel I also stamped the flower using Summer Sunrise. I even pulled out the shrink plastic and made a teeny tiny pink flower to add to my sentiment (it's really shiney IRL).

On the inside of the notebook I added some more flowers to the bottom of each page - just to make 'em prettie! :)  Oh and I forgot to say that I used the recipe cards from Papertrey Ink for the notebook. I simple cut off the edge that has "Recipe" on it (it's only about 1/4" that you need to trim away).  So now it's your turn to get creative! I can't wait to see what you make!!

Now it's time to hop over to Jana's blog for further inspiration.  I hope you have a great day!
