A5 hand decorated Pukka Pad - Day 46 of my 366 Day challenge



A5 hand decorated Pukka Pad with matching bookmark + pen and pencil - 
Day 46 of my 366 Day challenge

Hi Craft Addicts!

So, it is now day 46 of my 366 day challenge and yes, I have stuck to it so far! This time this is an A5 Pukka Pad which I decorated with the fabulous papers from Neroli (Sparky and Marie - 1st Edition).

A5 hand decorated Pukka Pad with matching bookmark + pen and pencil -  Day 46 of my 366 Day challenge
I first of all used a sheet of the 12" x 12" pad and covered both front and back of the pad - making sure that the pattern was the right way up using Collall All Purpose glue as it allows some "wiggle" time.

Once it was dry, I then added a panel of matching paper at the bottom half of the front using red Ultra strong red liner tape on 3 sides (excluding the top edge).

I would then add a border to the top edge so you can see when it starts as it does mess your head a bit as it is at the moment!

I then stuck a really pretty rosette from the Magnolia Lace collection from Ultimate Crafts to the top right hand corner.

For the pen/pencil holder I again cut a strip of the paper stock (backing it on to some card first) and measured where I needed to score it to make it a good fit. I then glued it on just above the panel (allowing for the pen/pencil to stay on the notebook).

For the Bookmark - I used a deckle edged piece of card (measures 51x178mm) and glued a strip of the paper in the centre of it. I also then punched a hole in it and added some blue satin style ribbon to decorate it.
