Christmas notebooks

I'm making a few notebooks to have on hand for Christmas gifts - either as 'stocking fillers' (although we don't actually use stockings for Christmas), or as extra gifts to have on hand. Here are a couple more I've added to my stash. Great way to use up patterned paper and other elements you might have lying around:

How luscious

I love the Luscious collection from Basic Grey - gorgeous colours and patterns.  I've been experimenting with crystal effects and love the look it gives little paper embellishments. The little pink flower is so shiny in real life but probably doesn't show up so well on a photo!  No sentiment as I haven't decided who to send it to yet.

With gratitude

Today I  broke out Graphic 45's Steampunk Debutante collection. Love the colours  and patterns here. I want to incorporate a butterfly and thought I'd make my own with  fussy cut images from the paper and some crystal effects. Hard to see here, but the butterfly is very shiny IRL! I combined stamps from several sets to make the sentiment:
