Just catching up with you among the Honeysuckles

Just a quick post on this lovely Saturday! Wanted to show you a few more pages from the little "to do" notebook I was working on at a non-stop pace last Saturday. I found this black trim in New York City at a shop I found in the Where Women Create magazine. Tinsel Trading Company is a joy to visit. With your first step in the shop, you stop dead trying to take it all in... which you can't. Cheryl and I ended up wandering around the shop for a good 40 minutes. I found this trim in both black and red. The card stock the trim and image are mounted to is the tag from the auto service department where the "shark" has to go for her routine maintenance visits. Felt it was too good to toss away. The image I found on Two Peas as a free download and really has three women on it....

Next order of business was to mount the image on the trim and mount the trim to the tag, since the image was printed on typewriter paper, I decided to sew her...... This was the first time I had sewn around an image. Seen it done a lot but haven't tried it. I liked the way it came out.

In the notebook, I used different papers including dictionary pages. One thing I realized with the dictionary is you have to be careful and be sure to read the page that you are getting ready to bind into the book, especially when working with the letter "P"..... lotz of "p" words you might not want in the notebook. Kind of like "F" words....

After reviewing dictionary pages, I then had several small pieces left over which I stamped on and applied to my stamped lady, "Coquette," by B Line Design. If I had the time I would have decorated this stamp using color pencils and markers. But, alas time ran out.

OK, I really need to work on several items this afternoon including my Alice in Wonderland bookie and some ATC cards ..... See ya soon.....
