Hi it's Sue here, and I'm really happy to be kicking off our new challenge, though you wouldn't think so with my sentiment!
Like Feather Bird I can't function without the first coffee of the day!
So I took a very inexpensive A5 notebook with a kraft cover and brayered gesso over the top.
Next, I used some DecoArt paint and a number stencil. It's not rocket science is it, but this is one of my favourite colour combos.
Then fun with stamps! All the words are from Carmen's Veranda clear stamp selection, and the numbers are from Bingo Border.
There is many a true word spoken in a clear stamp sentiment, I always give everything my full ass! This is the back of the book.
And this is the front. Again a CV sentiment, and the wonderful Feather Bird is by Lost Coast. This bird makes me smile every time I see him. For a little guy he has a lot of attitude!
Now it's your turn, are you up for the challenge? We can't wait to see your projects!
Submit your entries in the linky party below by midnight PST on the 25th!We will be bringing you more stamping inspiration for the challenge throughout the month! Yes, now through the 25th, you'll see plenty of inspiration to help your muse, on the average of one every couple of days.
Happy Stamping!

OMG thank you so much for picking Shrek's feet as the winning entry! This has made my day...
Love Sue's project today, especially the sarcastic but hilarious words!
Congrats Craftyfield. Hugz
Great new theme. Sue, I love the contrast of feather bird against the blue and those sentiments are just cracking me up. What a fab journal cover. Hugz
