Back to School Notebook.......

Happy Saturday everyone!!
I hope you are all enjoying the weekend so far!
I was able to sneak into my craft room today to make another Back to School project for a few challenges....
With my kiddo's heading back in alittle over a week, we are busy getting school supplies, haircuts and all those last minute school clothes in between playdates, football and baseball~ Yikes it seems like there is never enough time in the day to get it all done. And I am planning our welcome back luncheon for the teachers~ I think I need a vacation from our summer vacation.... LOL!!

Anyways for my project I was inspired by 
Candace from Paper Crafts by Candace 
to make a mini notebook based on the one she made HERE but instead using
My Creative Time~ Stitched Journal Die and making it Back to School themed.
Here is what I came up with.... Wouldn't this look adorable clipped to a backpack and used to doodle in? Or given to the teacher on the first day of school???

This was such an easy project to make and put together! I die cut a bunch of the Journal cards in white card stock and then another using the matching designer paper. Then using my cameo, I cut the apple, eliminating the face only because I  knew that the label die would go right through it. After all my pieces were put together for the apple, I attached it to the front journaling card. I die cut the label die and stamped the sentiment and popped that up on top of the apple.  Using my hole punch I added a hole to the top corner for the binder clip, then tied some coordinating 3GJ crinkle ribbon on the ring. Finally I finished off my notebook by stamping the date and adding some green candie's to the label die.

Supplies Used:
Paper~ American Crafts~Mayberry paper pack
Kraft, White (stash)
Stamps~ My Creative Time~ Just Simply Live & Tab Notes
Cuts/Dies~ My Creative Time~ Stitched Journal Die & Vintage Stitched Label Die
Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon~ Apple from the Back 2 School Cutting File
Embellishments~ 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon~ Latte, Holly Berry, Mistletoe, Gold Crown
Binder clip, white gel pen, green candi's

So there is my finished project. What do you think?? My kids are always writing or drawing on the school bus and I know one of them will want me to make one that matches their favorite color plus something Minecraft related I am sure.......plus they can be put together in no time!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT rest of your day!!
