MLS + Punky Sprouts

Back in the saddle!

Back to blogging after a little break last week!

Punky Sprouts hooked the My Little Shoebox team up with fun albums to play with this month!

I got to play with this one called "Savvy Sprout".

I took a little inspiration from Katie who always makes the coolest planners, the All a Flutter line from My Little Shoebox, some red paint, a few buttons & bling, a Sakura pen, & my Bind-It-All and made this journal/organizer.

I actually took the entire book apart before I started anything.
I painted or covered with patterned paper all the chipboard pages of the album.
And then I put the Bind-It-All to good use!

I used it to re-punch holes in the pages I covered with patterned paper.

I also used it to punch holes in regular copy paper and notebook paper to add more pages to my organizer.
Here I printed out monthly calendars for the rest of the year & used the Bind-It-All to punch holes in them so I could add them to the front of the book. I looove the flowers in this line!

I made a little pocket to hold coupons.
{i am really trying to do the coupon thing but seems like i always end up at the store without the correct coupon!}

I messily painted the canvas pages of the album and then used a black Sakura pen to label the sections.

This is just plain ole white copy paper that I will use for sketches and ideas.

I think this may be a better way to keep up with receipts I need to save rather than stuffing them in the bottom of my purse.

{however i almost hate to change my system after it has been working all these years!}

:)

I recycled an old notebook & used the pages as part of this book instead.

The end!

Wow, you are still here!??
Impressive!
:)
Thanks for looking!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
