Butterfly Journal.

Iv'e taken  a plain note book and made into something special.

Jenny likes pink so my starting point was a plain pink note book.

Then the fun began.

Take some pink butterfly patterned material and my trusty snippet

of cardboard

Plus a butterfly motif cut from material and backed with stiffener.  

Next find a toning design paper . This stripey one is by 

Emma Schoenberg

which I cut and adhered to both the front and back covers.  

I then cut a panel fom the cardboard to fit the front

and covered with the material . A strip of elastic was added to 

hold in place over the closed book. 

The butterfly motif was used to create the pocket to hold the pencils in place. 

I added a butterfly Charm to finish.

Jenny has now received her gift which was a little thankyou from me 

and my Butterlfly challenge. 

It is week 2 of the Current challenge which is running for 4 weeks.
