Hip Hop {Thursday} Organizing Sketches

Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you are joining me from Maren's blog. If not, please hop back home to the Unity blog. You won't want to miss today at Unity! Angela is releasing over 100 new stamps! All of the specials will be announced at 11 a.m. CST, so make sure you look at the Unity blog again at 11 a.m. or after!!! Now on to some creative fun!

I purchased these three precious notebooks at my local grocery store on clearance last Fall. They measure 4x4 inches, and they have 80 sheets of paper in them. Looking back, I should have purchased more. I love these little books. They have been on my desk for some time now, and I finally decided what I wanted to do with them. I decided to store some of my sketches in them. The book I altered today contains 50 of the sketches from my sketch site, Triple the Sketch. This 4x4 size is just perfect. It is easy to hold in my hand, easy to store, and quick to flip through. I printed each sketch out at 3x3 inches. I actually had to tear out a lot of the extra pages because as you can see, the book gets rather full even with just 50 sketches pasted in here. To decorate my book, I used the new Unity release Rain & Flowers. The papers are from the Making Memories Chloe's Closet line you can find at Michael's. I added all of my flat embellishments and words, and then I covered it in Modge Podge. I then added my dimensional embellishments. I wanted to add ribbon to the spiral binding but I tend to fold the notebook back so it wouldn't work with ribbon there.I am going to use the other two notebooks for sketches from Splitcoaststampers and then various other sketches I find I like online. Tomorrow I will post the green notebook for you. Be sure to come on back for a look! Now, please continue your Thursday hop by visiting the awesome AJ! Have fun, and thanks for stopping by today!
