Peek-A-Boo Embellished Covered Notebooks and Back to School Digital Freebie

Curtsey Boutique Little Red Wagon
Covered Notebook

 A few months ago I was stalking Heidi Swapp's blog. I like that her projects are always quick and doable with what you most likely have in your stash. She showcased quick and easy notebooks on this blog post here: http://www.heidiswapp.com/quick-fun-notebook/

A  great video tutorial on how to make the super cute peek - a- boo inside here: http://www.mycraftchannel.com/Shows/Create-to-Remember/Note-Books/

I've been scheming of a way to do one ever since. Que back to school crazyness and the need for a teacher gift. Here's what I came up with. The secret to the inside embellishment is using a punch (any punch will do) to punch a few sheets of paper. Than lay those sheets down as a template, trace and line the punch up - rinse and repeat until all the punching is do. So cute!

All of the embellishments, but the pleated red ribbon are in the "Little Red Wagon" Kit. 

I've also included a digital freebie below that you are welcome to use for SH, PU, or CU if you link back to the blog.

Embellish Creatively,

Curtsey Kit Sneak Peak and Back to School Digital Freebie

Curtsey Boutique "Little Red Wagon" Kit Sneak Peek

You may have noticed the blog's been a bit quiet lately. This is partly because I've been spending time with the kids, traveling to see family and teaching my summer session - but it is also because I've been hard at work creating the Curtsey Boutique's first kit, "Little Red Wagon". It is chalk FULL of almost 100 items including:

Dyed doilies

Stick Pins

Embossed Glassine Bags

Embossed Kraft Bags

Pennants

Mini Flags

Cork Embellishments

Felt Embellishments

Tags

Mini Albums

Labels

Custom Bingo Card

Custom Flashcards

Paper Bag Pockets

and lots more...

The photo above is a sneak peak. I was inspired by the Back to School vibe that's filling the air and my kid's backpacks with new school supplies. Whether you are a card maker, scrapbooker, or packaging fan this kit has something to please every crafty palette.

 The kits will go live for purchase on Monday. Because most of the items are hand made by me limited quantities will be available.

I've also been working hard on finding vintage school themed images so here are two freebies. The first is a 4x6 journaling card and the second is a PNG image (it will have a transparent background) of two sweet little girls working on a chalkboard from a turn of the century Sears Catalog.

You may use the images for commercial use, personal use or scrapbook for hire if you link back to my blog. 

Enjoy the freebies and have a lovely day,

CarrieAnne
