Welcome Scrappers -
Today I created an Altered Spiral Notebook. I have way too many half-used Spiral Notebooks - so I decided it was time to do some alternating on them this year. The blank pages left inside will be great for note-taking, Journal entries and the like.
Here is my altered notebook using many already cut dies and cardstock scraps from my stash - yes, I have die cuts, and the like that I did not use on creations in 2013. Because most of the cover is done using left over die cutting items this notebook went together quickly.
 Have a crafty journey today. Thanks for stopping by. Gail
