Upcycled Diary/Notebook

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a journal/diary created from a book that needed a facelift.  All you need are scraps of papers, ribbon, paint and a stencil.





Core-dinations cardstock was cut to fit the book, then I used a Crafter's Workshop stencil with Art Anthology's Lemon Tart paint.



 This beautiful design is the result.


Next, I used a scrap of  Live in Color paper and added several May Arts ribbons around the cut area.  After inking the edges, I added it to the front of the book.


 
The letters were cut from the reverse side of the paper and adhered over the stenciled design.

 
 
So next time you find a book that needs to be altered, try mixing and matching products for a fun effect.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.
