custom notebooks …

Posted by craftnetworktv in craft, notebook on August 25, 2011

We celebrated two birthdays last week … my Mum (h) and my daughter’s good friend (t) … both born on the same day!

I recently ordered some fabric from Art Candy … I love Amy Butler’s designs and the colours are gorgeous … and decided to customise some notebooks … love how they turned out! (My Mum really loved it too!)

Last weekend the kids were invited to two birthday parties … Olivia turned 12 … and received this handmade journal …

And Jamie went to Luke’s Under the Sea themed party .. the invitation included sand and shells .. so I thought an Underwater Canvas was needed!

The party host did an amazing job with all the decorations! Although I have to say that I was surprised when Jamie was given a fish to take home instead of the usual lolly bag .. his name is Mr Goldberg!

Lately there has been a lot of gift giving … which means I’ve been busy in the studio …

I love giving handmade gifts … I’ve been doing it a very long time!

This fabric notebook was for my Aunt who recently celebrated her 60th birthday!

And a lovely card to go with it!

And this little canvas was for a 6 year old princess who had a wonderful disco party.

new inspiration …

Posted by craftnetworktv in art journal, books, notebook on April 9, 2011

I’ve been following Pam Carriker for a while and I always find her work so inspiring … so when her book “Art at the Speed of Life” came out … I had to have a copy!

Only a short way into the book I stopped to create an art journal .. the instructions were easy to follow and I had all the ingredients – denim, watercolour paper, a button and some string.. it was so much fun ..

That same day I had to make a notebook – this time in pink – a gift for a 10 year old girl … so pretty!!

And so a new obsession began ..

teacher gifts …

Both my girls had male teachers this year .. and I wasn’t sure what to make for their Christmas gift .. until a visit to Smiggle … where I saw a notepad with a pen holder … great idea … (and I can do it).
