Keeping Tabs and Writing Notes

Back in February, I shared with you some of the items I had ordered and received from Pick Your Plum. These little notebooks weren’t pictured in that post I had picked them up from the daily flash site too.

They are so handy to keep in the car or in my purse but I wanted to dress up the plain brown cardboard front a little. Enter Martha…or at least her stencils.

Oh, and Marilyn with her 13 ounces of love package.

I took the stickers and applied them to front of the notebook. Then, I placed a stencil on and got ready to paint.

I brushed on the paint and then removed the stencil.

The result: pretty notebooks!

I also did another set in teal without the fun stickers.

Have you used any Pick Your Plum stuff recently in crafts? Do you keep a notebook handy at all times?
