Nicolette's Fall & Halloween Blog Hop | Day 2 MORE Mummies!!

Welcome to Day 2 of Nicolette's Fall & Halloween Blog Hop! I am so excited to be a part of this fun blog hop with these amazing ladies. As I am the second stop on the hop, you should have come from Nicollete's Blog Beyond Scrappin. If you just happened upon my blog, you may start at the beginning at Nicolette's blog here. 

Remember yesterday when I said, "This year I can't seem to get enough of mummies." It's true...I think every rectangle in my house is going to be turned into a mummy! Today's project is another that I'm finishing up for my daughter's class. This year they are not having a party at school but rather are collecting items for a Halloween goodie bag. I always like to make something non-edible for these. This year, since drawing is probably my daughter's favorite thing to do I made little drawing notepads.

For this project you will need:
all supplies available through http://www.cutnpastememories.com

small black rectangle of card stock

Google eyes and glue

2 pieces of Bazzill Book Board 2½×4"

4 pieces of 8½×½" white Bazzill card stock

Old Paper Distress Ink by Ranger

distressing tool

Bind-it-All and wire

Cut Bazzill card stock into ½" strips and distress.

 Ink distressed strips by lightly running Old Paper Distress Ink over the top of one side of strip.

Glue a piece of black card stock to one piece of Bazzill Board. Glue on Google Eyes.

 Add strips building up around eyes first to get that area to look like the eyes are behind the "gauze."

 Add strips until the whole surface is covered. Trim the edges and rub Old Paper Distress Ink over edges.

 With the Bind-it-All, cut holes in the cover and in the back board. Cut holes in the filler paper--I used 35 pieces of white paper as filler for these little notepads.

 Add the wire top to the notebook. To add this correctly, stack your notebook as it should appear correctly. Then flip the back cover over to the front cover and add wire so that the side with the in-between wires is along the back cover. Crimp the wire closed with the Bind-it-all and flip the back cover back to the back!

As a reminder you can catch my LIVE bi-monthly show leslierahye's crafty gig on the 2nd and 4th Friday's of the month! Hope to see you in my crowd!
