Hi
everyone and TGIF!
Laurel here and I am so excited to be sharing my first project
as a Design Team member for My Mind’s Eye! As a teacher I love
anything related to school so I couldn’t wait to create this first
assignment – altered school supplies.
Every year I alter a notebook that I can use to jot down notes that come up through out the year and for this assignment I just had to use some of the Cut & Paste Flair collection as I just love it!
This year I also decorated some clips to use as note/photo holders and as a little added bit, I used some of the coordinating decorative tape to flag some pencils.
I like to have some ‘magic’ pencils in my classroom
which sometimes help reluctant writers/workers who say they can’t do
it. It is amazing the wonder of magic pencils!
I like asymmetry on
my projects and for things to look like they just sort of fell onto the
page so I play around with different items before permanently adhering
them. Then I just add bits and pieces here and there (stickers, brads,
staples) until I like the look.
To cover the clips I just trimmed the paper to size and added a sticker. So easy.
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
Laurel
