Featuring new notebooks - Creative Together

So over the last few weeks I've been busy colouring and decorating notebooks in the style of Bristol Rovers.

Last year I sold many of these particular notebooks to my footy friends to raise money for charity and I plan on continuing that this year. Here is a selection of the new notebooks I've upload to the stationery section of Creative Together

 An A4 version.

 An A5 version

 I actually made this one as I wanted to have plain paper sketch/notebooks.

 I'm also going to decorate some notebooks with other designs. 

I've a huge pile of notebooks waiting for me to decorate in the coming weeks. I need to get colouring!

Behind the scenes - notebooks

So I'm here today to share another Creative Together 'behind the scenes' type post this time featuring notebooks.

Last year I decorated notebooks to fundraise for my chosen charity and this year is no different. Profits from every notebook I make are donated to BANES Young Carers.

This wonderful charity supports so many young carers in our area including my own son, Keagan. Their support and the friendships made are invaluable and every penny raised goes towards continuing their fabulous work.

So notebooks - some I buy and decorate. Others I make myself especially plain paged versions. As my Bristol Rovers notebooks were so popular I'm bringing them back for this year. Though I will also decorate different themes I promise!

 So I start by covering the front with Centura pearl card followed by hammered card to create a nice base. I often draw stitches around edge as well.

 I cut out the letters using a Tim Holtz die. I have a little pot that I keep all of my 'Bristol Rovers' letters in. I tend to have a session of preparing lots of letters.

 I use this girl footballer - the image is from Some Odd Girl as you can see I colour up a whole batch all different. I have great fun colouring their hair. Their football kit is, of course, styled after Bristol Rovers home kit.

 As you can see I do have a vast collection of pens so I can pretty much choose any colour I want!

Once the base is dry I add the image. I create a shadow background using grey dots to ground the image so she doesn't look like she is floating.

Here are some of the notebooks I will be uploading to the shop soon.

Thanks for popping by
