So, if you have been following my Facebook Fan Page, you would have seen my recent stationery haul...yep, March was stationery madness month. But since it was my birthday month, I get a hall pass right? *winks*
But since a paper clip on its own is just tooooooooo plain, I had to make it pretty right? Out came the Maya Road embellishments and hot glue gun!
And of course, there must be some paint involved right? [Yes, that would be new paint markers* I love them!]
Look how cute these paper clips are now after a little makeover....next to my cute sticky notes. :)
And it was time. Time to use ONE kraft envelope. [I have been hoarding these Maya Road ones for a really long time.] I added some reinforcement rings, outlined the envelope with a white pen and added a chipboard sentiment. Now I have a pocket to hold little bits in my planner.:)

I like the way you think. I love the way you come up with neat ideas like that kraft pocket. I am in awe of your stationery buying skills, LOL!!!!!!!!!!
Fabulous! Love those paperclips you made!
Love how you decorated your journal and love those paper clips! TFS
Totally kick butt! I'll have to try doing this again with my paper clips and use my hot glue gun or more tacky glue. And I love painting embellishments with paint pens. So easy and looks terrific!
Yvonne, this is just fabulous! The paper clip adornments are adorable... lovin' the way you decorated the kraft envelope... so cute as well as useful! I LOVE this!!!!!
You asked me if I was enjoying Donna's IW class... YES! I think I've learned a ton about texture and glazing that I will carry over into other forms of paper art. I was a couple months late in starting the classes, but have caught up because it's been so much fun. Thank you for asking my opinion!
Have a wonderful, creative day!
Oh these are fabulous! I love your planner!!!
What a great idea Yvonne!
I love what you've created for your super cool planner!
You are so creative!!
Bravo ;)
Totally love how you decorated your planner!
those clips are so adorable.. what a fun planner..
That is a cool planner. The clips are very special and add an artistic touch. I think you'd like the Gansai Tambi watercolors you asked me to comment on...the colors are very intense and beautiful.
What gorgeous embellies!! I love the flowers and eh sweet birdies!! Your planner looks fabulous!! Have a great day :)
