All That Stickles 1 + 2 = Stickles Blog Hop

Welcome to the 1 + 2 = Stickles Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!


Back to school is just around the corner, and what better way to start off the school year then with a bit of sparkle?! Today the design team is showcasing all sorts of glittery back to school projects that kiddos and teachers will love!

If you've come from Ann's blog, you're in the right place! If you have just come across the hop and would like to start from the beginning, please visit All that Stickles.

For my project, I decided to alter a notebook. I use this notebook to keep track of projects that I have due.  Here's what it looked like BEFORE.

The handwritten "boat log" is there because I stole it from my dear husband.  He'd used it previously to track boat repairs. I took a bunch of scraps and taped them to the notebook and stuck them down with mod-podge. Then I decorated it with a cute image from Bugaboo (one of our generous sponsors), some UmWow Studio Chip, and OF COURSE, some Stickles!  Colors used:  Glam Pink, Waterfall, Yellow and Firefly


Now, the dear hubby will NEVER know it used to be his notebook!  ha ha!
