Altered Pocket Notebook

I decided to alter a little pocket-sized notebook this afternoon to keep notes in at my new job. I think perhaps it should have a protective plastic cover on it to keep it looking nice, but that's not gonna be a job for today...to much else to do! lol :)

I kinda like the effect of the 'A Little Note' stamp. This is a clear unmounted stamp, so easy to do this technique. I first stamped it using black StazOn ink, then I stamped slightly to the right with Silver Metallic ink. I guess technically I should have stamped to the left, to make the black a shadow...oops! Oh well, next time! lol :)

You can't really see clearly in the picture, but the patterned paper has glitter in the centers of the flowers. So, the silver ink that I used kinda ties it together. I like the way my little notebook turned out, it's almost too pretty to use at work!

Ok, now I have to go finish getting supper ready before I head to work for the evening.
