The theme over on the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge this week is "anything but a card". Some of you may be aware that I'm battling to reduce the ever-growing pile of patterned cardstock in my craft room. I'm making progress, slowly but surely, and this project takes me one step further in the fight! LOL Having said that, I seem to only be reducing my pile of the Lost and Found stack, which I will be replacing when it's gone, so perhaps I'm not making as much progress as I thought!I started with a cheap supermarket paper pad and removed the cover and separated the pages and back. I cut a new cover from Lost and Found card and stamped the wings onto it with Versafine ink. I then coloured the wings with a paint marker and then embellished it with the clock image and metal parts. The "TIME" also came from the Lost and Found pad. Finally I bound the pad together with the Bind-it-all and finished the whole thing off with some Tim Holtz Idea-ology charms.
Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 gift voucher as the prize again this week! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try? At the very least why not head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team have interpreted this weeks theme! :)
Great little transformed pad !!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful note pad Dan. It's the sort of thing I love to have but can't use in case I spoil...LOL (hence the stacks of pretty notebooks dotted around the house)

That is one great pad! Then again you make a garbage bag look fantastic and turn it into a work of art.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool pad you've created, Dan! Such a nice grunge feel to it. It will make the perfect pad to keep by your computer and to enjoy using! Great take on this week's challenge.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is superb transformation from the supermarket cover, love the theme you have chosen, and theose wings are cool.
ReplyDeleteWow. Dan! What a cool shopping list pad! I especially like the wing and bird hanging off the side :)
