Altered Notebook for my TSO friends

My dear friend Diane shared with me how to alter notebooks and today's post features just that. I started with a small notebook, removed the spiral and embellished the original cover with Greenhouse Gala designer paper, some card stock, ribbon and a matching stamped image. I love how it turned out and it was so easy to do.

I will be attending the TN Senior Olympics as a volunteer starting the end of this week. This notebook is one of three that I made for my friends on the TSO staff. They have been crazy busy preparing the event for nearly 1900 athletes. I hope this gift will make them smile out loud.

Let the games begin!
