Antique-y Notebook
I bought five of these lined notebooks a long time ago and stashed them away. They have thick linen-like covers with a silver metal square on the front. While making things for a craft fair in December, I made this one. I couldn’t sell it because it reminded me of my mom’s manual typewriter, which I still have. I remember playing with it when I was little. And some of you may gasp, but I learned to type on a manual typewriter and loved it when electric typewriters were invented!
To alter this notebook, I used Puns from the Past and stamped the typewriter in basic black and the eraser in basic gray. Added the Canvas background in basic gray, stamped off once to get a lighter image. Distressed the edges and sponged in basic black ink. Stamped versamark ink and poured clear embossing powder to seal the images. Adhered with sticky strip and added a library clip. Tied a variety of ribbons on the spiral and viola!
