Hope you are all enjoying the Easter break and not over indulging in the chocolate eggs that come with this time :))
OK, so been playing around the last few days, ducking and diving when the sun shines, its been great for a change.
I had some lovely papers i bought from the Papermill heaven knows how long since and found them when I was digging stuff out, as you do. So I have made a couple of note books, First up is this one, long story short, this was supposed to be the insert for the hardback I made, but I kind of liked as is, so stencilled it with some paste and added a band and done.
The cover is from a paper pad I bought from the Range last year I think, its fabulous paper so obviously when I realised what an idiot I was, no way was I wanting to cover it, so the hardback will just have to sit and wait abit longer, but here it is anyway.

Happy Easter Janette, hope you're enjoying a lovely family day.
Your notebooks are both gorgeous, love the stencils you have used and the beautiful ricepaper. The hand stitching brought back memories of a workshop I did in a local primary school when I was a Children's Librarian. The books had really simple stitching to bind them together...but the kids couldn't thread the needles (big blunt needles!) the teacher and TAs disappeared somewhere leaving me with 30 kids to deal with...it was World Book Day, they were all dressed up...and hyper! I survived (somehow!)and all the books got finished :)

You really are so very creative Janette, I love the stunning book covers, even the books, if it comes to that, so very clever of you. Hope you had a good Easter. x
This is beautiful design and stunning overall with great coloring of the image. ♥
Sorry for MIA, had a house full over a week xx
Beautiful work, Janette! I'm so glad you didn't cover the first one, it is gorgeous. I think that is my favorite stencil too. And the poppy...it is a gorgeous notebook. Love, love, love them both.
It sounds like you've been having a wonderfully creative time, especially with the lovely weather! Your note books turned out beautifully, and I love the intricate details you added with the stenciling and paste. The Stamperia rice paper adds such a charming vintage touch to the second notebook. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for sharing your creative process with us!
You can waffle away Janette, we all love your waffles!! These books are absolutely gorgeous, they look so expensive too! Such great ideas, you have inspired me for sure! Hope you had a lovely Easter. I have ate one small bar of chocolate and not another bite but I did have some lovely apple crumble lol.
