Manic Monday





I hope you are all having a lovely Monday so far!
My weekend was an uneventful busy sort of weekend.
I have been participating in the Two Peas Back to school classes and have been enjoying myself so far!
I love all of the ladies and its such a wonderful community. If you haven't already
taken a gander over there be sure you make it a point today!

My most recent project that I completed over this weekend was for the
altered memo board/item class.

What I decided to go with was an altered journal.
It isn't a memo board but It has to so with school. I am an art major and I recycled one of my hard cover sketch books and altered it to make a Creative/Scrap journal.




Its just kind of something that I came up with as I went along. I have a feeling that it will consist of ideas for my scrapbook blog, random crafty journaling, layout ideas, LO sketches,new things that I discover and learn along my travels and diff personal scrappy stories etc.
 I think it will be a fun learning experience.

Sooo without further adieu



My old sketch book from college


After using my spray adhesive I aged
with my MM acrylic paint.
It gave it a cute girly aged feel.

Notice my 2peas sketches lol.
Ill attach all print out ans ideas with ribbon threaded
through holes for a cute and removable
look.


I distressed and decorated a LOT of the blank pages
in the whole book.
I will embellish them further as I go along.



Back cover.

I had fun making this and it took just a couple of hours while watching TV lol.
But seriously, if you haven't been to TwoPeas go NOW!

That's all for today though! I have delicious meatballs and homemade sauce
simmering in my crock pot and its just calling my name!
Enjoy the rest of your Manic Monday!

  1. I love it!!! I got a red journal at a thrift store 2 weeks ago for holding layouts cut from magazines...maybe I'll embellish/alter it. If so, I'll put a pic up on our "late night thread".
