Guess who the Challenge hostess is this week for Sassy Cheryl;'s ...MOI!!!!

Well, did everyone guess whether Sassy Cheryl got all of the DT cards with the right designer?  I know but I am not going to tell....Yet!!!  This week I am the hostess for the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge and I have chosen the theme Altered Notebook.  I love to make them, hope you do too!!!  Here is my project:

I don't have a Bind it all or any of the other binding machines so I buy my little notebooks at Michael's in their dollar bin.  I decided to go with a Christmas theme for two reasons. Sassy Cheryl's has soo  many cute snowmen I can't get enough of them  and I need a Christmas Wish List book for this year.  I chose Which List snowman..What do you think, naughty or nice?

With 13 grandkids and their parents I have to write down their wants and needs so I don't forget, not only what they want but what I have already bought...My kids are wonderful to give me ideas all year long for things their kids would like and if I find it on sale wonderful.

Back to my project.  The notebook is a tall thin Journaling notebook and the spirals match up with the SU spiral punch so that I can decorate all the way to the edges, no fuss no  muss...done!!!  I used some of my favorite Holiday dp from Cosmo Cricket, from last year, called Eskimo Kisses.  I colored the Snowman to match the village scene dp.  I added the green polka dot  strip along the binding edge punched the spiral punched edge on one side and the MS fancy scalloped punch border on the other.  I angled my Snowman which of course was colored with copic markers and sponged with distress ink...a shock I know.

I finished the little notebook with a stamped Christmas 2010 sentiment at the top and tied coordinating ribbons on the binding.  It looks so cute sitting on my shelf :)

Did you guess that this card was mine for the Stump Cheryl Challenge?

Yep,  Frankie and I stumped Sassy Boss Lady, but I didn't really feel like I changed that much, just didn't do any sponging....


I can't wait to see what you all come up with for the challenge.  Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create.

Have a great day.
