Inspiration Notebook!

I am making over my desk in a "pretty in pink" theme...

I share the office with my hubby and he has his space which is most of the converted bedroom and I have mine which is a small desk that he bought for me so that I could blog!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I created this inspiration notebook for ideas and such that I write down when I am online or on the phone

I love to doodle too... I cannot wait to fill it all up!

I started with a typical college ruled notebook in red 

I started to make it and then I realized that you would want to see it!

 

I covered one side with polka dot paper and then the other with striped

I left a small opening  as you can see 

I decided to add some pink grosgrain ribbon and the image you can see from a vintage book

Here is the grosgrain ribbon attached with tacky glue

Here is the note book ready to be embellished

 

I ripped the sides of the image and then I distressed the  edges

I attached the image with tacky glue and rubbed the lid of the stamping pad over till smooth (yah I am super technical)

In addition to the image I also added a words from the book which read 

"yet even beyond the farthest star, God knows the way"

Totally what I need to read and heed every day

 

I then began to tie pieces of ribbon to the book

I added the scalloped scrapbook circle... 

with another circle and a vintage button and some fun fur!

I cannot wait to use this notebook!!!

Stay tuned for my coordinated desk makeover!
