I adore the LOVE die cut so I knew that I wanted to use that as a focal piece. You can never have too many heart stickers, so I added them too. The felt heart clip from my stash was a perfect match, so I added an epoxy heart from the collection to it and attached it to the pocket.
Next, I used my favorite plaid paper from the collection to cover my insert. I added some washi as a spine cover and put the cute little gnomes on the cover. I love them!
This first insert booklet is the one that I go to on a daily basis. I carry it around with me and jot my to do lists on it. Each day gets it's own page. There were so many cute elements that I could use. I cut up the boxes from the small paper pad and adhered them to the page. They make the perfect 'box stickers.' The washi and stickers were also good additions. I used the cute typewriter Doodle Pop to make a clip and added the small heart clips as a decorative element, too.
On this page, I decided to go a bit bigger in my decor. I added the die cuts to Valentine's Day because that's such a special day. I love how it works there!
The next insert in my TN is one that I made myself. I decided I wanted to make a little insert to hold some special love themed quotes. I'm a huge quote fan and love jotting them down to remember. Here is a tutorial on how I made it.
First, I cut the patterned paper and some plain white paper to 6.5 by 5.25" I used 5 pieces of paper since I don't need this insert to be very thick. I rounded all of the corners.
Next, I just ran the papers through my sewing machine. I'm not a seamstress, so I have no idea what size the needle is. It's just the regular one that has always been on my machine. I did a basic straight stitch. If you don't sew, you could use a stapler.
I added the strip of washi to serve as a spine and give it a decorative touch.
Next, I decorated it. That's always the fun part. I love the mini doilies!
I love the candy theme of the paper so decorated the first page accordingly.
I plan on adding just a bit of decoration to the rest of the pages since they will be holding the quotes and my little notes. The washi is a perfect touch along with small stickers. And of course more doilies!
The So Punny line was perfect for my little Valentine's/Love themed Traveler's Notebook. I can't wait to start using it. Thanks for stopping by today!
I love how you used the doilies!!! And the plaid... the gnomes! Fabulous!!!!!
