Loving BC Dzyns!

MFT's new line BC Dzyns has come out with another set "and then I said". This set is being released now and if you follow the blog hop, there is a treat at the end! :) Kim's blog is the start of the blog hop.

It wasn't long after I got this set that Carmen had a birthday party to go to and requested a notebook altered. Something 'fast' she said was fine. hahaha Me? Fast? She may not care how it looked but I sure did and I always put 199% of myself into my creations. So needless to say she didn't get to take the gift to the party but had to give it to the birthday girl when she was getting picked up. Did I fail to mention that she asked for the gift the day of the party?? KIDS!!

I embossed the girl with fine black detail on white cardstock. Colored her hair with Prismacolor markers (same color as the birthday girl), used blush blossom ink for her skin. Added a little 'blush' with pretty in pink and watercolored the 'table' with chocolate chip ink.

Her shirts were paper pieced with retired SU design paper. The notebook was also covered in the same coordinating retired SU design paper. Sahara Sand cardstock was added to the side that I used the scallop edge punch on. Faux stitching around the saying and ribbon added to the side finished off the notebook.

Sorry for the little bit of bent to the upper corner of the cover. I had taken pictures of this before it was given away but wouldn't you know it, the laptop that those pictures are on is 'dead'! Carmen's friend was kind enough to bring the notebook to school so that it could come home to me to take pictures so I could be able to post it. Thank you!

Close up of the girl

You may have been wondering why I had placed the girl over so far. Well, now you know. This notebook came with this 'strap' that came over the cover, there was no way for me to take it off so I had to make it part of the design.
