My Grandson Tom is turning 12 next month
and along with a regular card I decided
to make him this traveller's notebook.
He is very into story writing and sketching so
I thought a wee ideas book would be useful.
It is pretty thick and holds a lot.
I was inspired by a die set from Sizzix
but unfortunately it is one of those thick dies
and my machine will not take those.
So I watched a video by Eileen Hull
where she shows you how to put the book
together and I just made my own measurements
and made the above.
You can watch a quick walkthrough video here
For this book I have used
papers from We R Memory Keepers
Alphabet Dies from Simply Made Crafts
Elastic and some handmade notebooks.
I would like to enter this into

Such a great idea, sure your grandson will get alot of use out of it Pinky, its really cool.
I have always thought that as crafters we can make anything if we put our minds to it. I know when I just started and had very little I came up with so many things just by having a good look at things, I still am a visual learner too. xx
What a wonderful idea Pinky- I'm sure your grandson will be over the moon with this clever and fabulous gift. I love the papers you've used, and how everything is so neatly held and contained inside- everything he needs to jot down his ideas while out and about. xx
A brilliant keepsake for Tom Pinky, beautiful masculine papers and plenty of notelets to write in
Fabulous project Pinky, so much detail. I love the papers.

Sounds like a perfect gift for Tom, the DP's you selected seem perfect for purpose and sure it's will be well used for his stories and notes.
