CASEing The Fantabolous Debby Hughes

OK, I envy the brain of the above mentioned lady and I so wanted to case one of her masterpieces during the month she's the muse of CASE Study. So this is what I came up with for the currents CASE Study Challenge #208.

It's very obvious that this is not an apple. Although I also have some apple chipboards in my stash, it just didn't fit. So I decided to go with the thought of showing you the fading shades of the Indian summer (=autumn) and went with my current favourite colours. By the way, it's a notebook we got at the European Parliament when we went for a visit 2 years ago but I had to personalize it for my own sake. LOL

Hope you like it. :-)

A Notebook for Csabi's Funny Sayings

I saw the idea of creating a notebook that you can jot down the funny things children (in this case, our little godson) say in the Scrapfellow blog. You can buy the whole package to create a wooden covered one and learn the how-to with others all along. But I wanted to bind and decorate the cover all by myself and wanted something that is lighter and easier to tuck in somewhere quickly. Well, I hope the embellishments won't mind the latter either. :-D

So I searched for the simpliest notebook binding method on youtube - this one is with saddle stitches. It is really as simple as it looks and you can easily create even more thickers notebooks with it.

If you're still here and interested what the sentiments mean: "Gyerekszáj" means something like "children's mouth" (referring to funny and wise things at the same time), while "mosoly" means "smile". I really have to teach you Hungarian, you know, I'm a linguist. ;-)

Since the hyppo is from Paper Smooches and the birds are from the Hero Arts + Basic Grey exclusive set and I even coloured them, I'm entering this into the following challenges:
