SpringWatch 2015 Thank You Gift Notebooks Tutorial

SpringWatch 2015 Thank You Gift Notebooks Tutorial

SpringWatch is HERE! 14 days of video projects, back to back, and all focusing on Spring Catalogue and Sale a Bration Products!

I get endless pleasure in sending out thank yous and notes and cards and such like, and even more pleasure from making them.

When I make as many as I do these days, which is incredibly humbling, I get into a gentle rhythm and find that it’s a perfect few hours when I stamp and trim and cut and stick and I get time to just craft without having to overthink too much.

I find that I don’t particularly think about home life, or work life, or anything beyond the products and projects that are in my hands at that moment, and when you’re a busy working Mum like me, those times are few and far between, so while my gift is a thank you for shopping with me, it’s also a thank you from me for allowing me time to just sit and make and create for no other reason than it’s a gift and a pleasure.

The dimensions of this notebook aren’t necessarily relevant, we can all access a variety of notebook sizes, but if you’d like to know how to measure and cover any size notebook, I do have a tutorial HERE that you can watch.

But as I said before, creating 80 of these little books was a real pleasure, and I spent time with my Mum who helped me create the design and chose many of the colours!

My shades are (left to right, top to bottom) – Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Melon Mambo, Rose Red, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Perfect Plum, Rich Razzleberry, Cherry Cobbler on Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry on Old Olive.

I hope you enjoy the video, and as ever, Thank You.
