Mother's Day Gift Set and a short Tutorial

Angela here, I am going to warn you this post has a lot of pictures and I will try to explain how I created my creations with a little tutorial. 

For my first pictute this is a Journal book I created for my Mom for Mother's day which is this Sunday here in the US.  I know I am no the Rubber DT but I couldn't help but use this beautiful Digi image by Sara Burrier called "Natalie"   She is one of the new Digi images that was just released.

 Here s a close up pf her and isn't she absolutley Stunning?  I think she is so beautiful so I had to use here for my Mom.

 Here is a Day Planner/ Calender.

 And here is her card I made her. I added some die cut using some Sizzix Dies, Tattered Flowers die, Pearls, Gold Glitter glue and Embossed Felt paper on the background of the card and I also die cut some Tattered flowers to add to her card.

Here are the main supplies I used for the Journal book which I created out of a notebook.

DP to cover the Notebook, Scissors, Tape Gun, Embossed Felt to create the flowers using Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die by Sizzix,  K&Company Die cut borders, Craft knife and the image that I colored.

 Here is what it looks like after I adhered the front cover with some NEW DCWV DP called 'The Tradewinds". Do the same to the back of your notebook also.

Then all you have to do is cut around your notebook and then sand around the edges to smooth or rough up the edges.

 Here is the image after I colored her and cut her out.

All that is left to do now is add image and decorate to your own taste.  All my friends LOVE these little Journal Books so I am always making them for gifts for me to give away or for request from some of my friends to give their loved ones.

But my Mom will get this set and I hope she loves them.

 I also added some sparkle with a Clear Sakura Gel Pen.

 Here is a cheap Day Planner that I picked up for .50 cents at a Joann Craft Store.  I just covered the Day Planner with the DP I wanted.  See next pic after paper was adhered.
