Friends Like Us - Altered Mini Notebook for Reverse Confetti

Good afternoon, Reverse Confetti Friends!

It is BITTERLY cold here in Illinois today...so cold, in fact, that our school and all the neighboring schools cancelled for the day.  I was able to sneak into my craft cave and whip up a fun project to share with you today!

The other night, I had dinner with a friend who was really down in the dumps!  I shared with her that when I'm down and feeling blue, I jot down things that I'm thankful for each day in a notebook.  We made a deal... to start/re-start a gratitude journal and share at the end of each week some of the highlights of the positives in our lives.

This altered notebook is for her...my friend...as we strive for a more positive outlook on life, in general!

For a little extra fun, I stamped on the inside with sweet Freida Fox and a row of XO's from Whole Lotta Hearts!

 I hope you are inspired to create something that will lift your spirits!

Check out all of the DARLING Reverse Confetti I used on my project!

Freida Fox

Whole Lotta Hearts

Arrow

Love Note

Double Edge Scallop Border

Tag Me

The Mojo Monday Sketch #329 helped me out with a simple and fun layout for the front of this altered project!

Here's one last look at my altered mini notebook!  

The Double Edge Scallop Border is peeking from behind the red paper panel, Freida Fox's glasses are stamped as a background and sentiment onto Tag Me.  Rows of Whole Lotta Hearts join the glasses as part of the background stamping, and lots of layered Confetti Cuts (Arrow, Love Note & Tag Me) as the focal panel of the notebook.  

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
