Birthday Gift & Card

I have a friends birthday coming up next month and thought of a nice gift set for her (can't giveaway WHO it is!).  The notebook is for her thoughts or to just write things down during the day.  I even managed to accessorise the pen!  I also made the matching card.

I've wanted to cover a notebook for ages but have been trying to find the right size.  I ended up finding one yesterday while out and bought 10 of them!! The pen was an after thought so that is why I haven't attached it to the notebook.  NOTE: remember for next time.  I have used Basic Grey paper along with SU! cardstock (Sahara Sand & Chocolate Chip) and the lovely 5/8" grosgrain ribbon in Chocolate Chip.  The letter "n" is from the Big Deal Alphabet set.  I used my nestabilities to cut out the circles in Sahara Sand and Basic Grey paper.  I covered the chipboard flower in Chocolate Chip cardstock and used my white gel pen for the dots.

Here is the matching card.  It's really strange that I haven't done this before but I usually only make a card and then buy a gift.  I am really pleased with how the card and the notebook have turned out.  I will be doing more in the future.  Watch this space!  LOL

I've added this photo as you can see the sparkle better.  I used my gelly roll pen to outline the letter "n" and on the Basic Grey paper.

Happy Crafting,

Just gorgeous, Kylie! She'll love them! Are you able to 'share' how you did the pen? Is the paper on the outside of the pen or somehow inside?! Pretty please?!!!

What a beautiful set! I love the stylish glittered monogrammed notebook.

Those are so cute! Your friend will love the set. So thoughtful of you. I love pink and brown together.

These are lovely - your friend is very lucky! I have used the same BG paper to cover a little notebook and it makes me smile every time I use it even though it is not as beautiful as the one you have made. Thank you for sharing
