Night Butterfly Notebook

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I have a notebook / sketchbook to share, in a narrow format.

The notebook was inspired by a sheet of paper from Tim Holtz Palette Halloween 8x8 papers, with moths, or night butterflies. I embellished with stamped moths, words and bits and pieces. I really like to make my own notebooks and they make great gifts too. 

I had a piece of watercolored paper which matched the background paper well. Stamp the moths with Tim Holtz Tiny Things and Specimen.

Fold the paper in two and cut papers for the inside. I used a thin dotted paper, perfect for a notebook. Pierce holes and stitch with embroidery floss. Cut around the edges with a craft knife. 

Tie the stitching in the center of the book.

This sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Beautiful and Curious and was stamped on a piece of 49 and Market Faded Memories ephemera. The tags are from 49 and Market 49 and Market The Quiet Observer Laser Cut Elements.

I added two Clippings Stickers to the large moth, and a trail of Simon Says Stamp Misty Mountain sequins.

I also added a pencil and word strip from 49 and Market The Quiet Observer Laser Cut Elements and a stamped Simon Says Stamp Be Your Beautiful Self sentiment. There is a piece of mummy cloth under the sentiments.

You can embellish the back cover too, but I left it plain.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Use a different paper for the cover to create notebooks with varying themes.

 

Happy crafting!
