Altering a Target find :)

my friend Linda inspired me to get back into being creative... and since I can not realistically bring out all the needles / scissors / fabric and my berina with my two very CURIOUS boys. I turned to paper. I think she created a monster! I have been trying to keep up with her blog ( I was slow to it at first) and have been inspired by her soooooo much that I actually tried blogging myself!

Anywho she went the the Quilt fest in Houston and took lots of yummie pictures and there was one I really liked about altering everyday things. I never really gave that much thought until then. Shortly after I went to the scrapping store and saw a class on altered daytimers. HUM.....I did not really like what they were going to do with one in the class, so I came up with my own version of altering one with lots of left over paper and stickers and all things that inspire me. Here's a pic of the inside cover... yes I added the ribbon :) Every month has a theme - like "dream" or "be yourself" or "inspire" SO everytime I use it - I'll remember to be creative and to try and be true to myself.

Here's a 2nd shot - it's the personal info page - I chose not to write any of it down, as I know it all by heart and just use metal embellishments to remind me what my initials are (just incase I forget.)


I had soooooo much fun making it, I am actually still adding to it when I think of different things. Thanks for the inspiration Linda! xoxoxo
ME!
