Altered Spiral Notebook

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
From This
To This


Recipe
Red Spiral Notebook
Blue DCWV Crafty Cardstock - not a scrap
Quickutz die for the Kraft Cardstock Sentiment
Heart Die cut - Memory Box
Blue cardstock was used for the heart
Note - clear stamp by Impressions [new stamp] 
I added the S to Note with a black Micron pen
Window Die - Memory Box - this window was created to be used on a creation in 2013 - it has a strip of lace at the top, background in the window is a digital from Seneca Pond Crafts and the snowflakes at the bottom is a 
Memory Box Crystal Snowflake Circle die cut using white cardstock
Pop Up tape
3 Blue Moon Drops
2 Glitter Gems
Scraps of Kraft Cardstock
Deer Die Cuts - Memory Box and Impressions Obsessions
MS Gray ink for the snow using scraps of white cardstock
Blue Glitter Tinsel along the spiral - I inherited a roll of lovely tinsel after my 
95-year-old MIL passed
