But today I have my granddaughter for the day and as it is pouring with rain and we can't go out, she wanted to spend the day trying out all - ALL - my rubber stamps and inkpads. And while I was lifting them all out, I thought I would have a good old play as well. So I picked out a selection of stamps - some favourites, a few that had never seen ink, and raided the snippets box for a bundle of snippets in various green/orange/yellow shades.
I covered the front of my notebook with black paper, then stamped an assortment of images onto various sized rectangles of card. I inked and the edges of each panel, and overstamped some of them with distress effect stamps - yes, even those fingerprints are stamped, not real. Then I arranged them all on the cover, moving them around until I was pleased with the arrangement. Then I stuck them in place and added a few Wink of Stella highlights.
Finally I stamped the Dylusions sentiment, that describes perfectly how I feel when I am crafting - and especially how I felt while I was making this!
I am sharing this with

Oh Jane, this is absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful way to use up lots of snippets - and also to while away a wet day. Isn't the weather dire - and we aren't actually camping in Hampshire. Phew!

Forgot to say how much I love the sentiment - perfect :) xx
What a good idea to keep a book of crafty ideas. I write notes on pieces of paper then loose them ....
Your cover looks really good Jane. A great way to use snippets and stamp some oldies and goodies and NBUS too. Love the earthy colours. Barbxx
What a wonderful cover. I do like all the black on the colours. A great way to remind yourself of all your stamps too. I wish I was organised enough to keep a note book, I just have bits of paper shoved into a book.
The sentiment made me giggle, think I would have added a few proper inky fingerprints as well (although they may or may not have been intentional!) Cara x
