Anyway, the thing that got me thinking about this was this gorgeous new image from the Saturday Evening Post line at Cornish Heritage Farms. It's set for release next Tuesday (28th October) and as soon as I saw it I said "I think I'm in love!". I coloured this one with pencils but I've done a couple of others too with watercolours and markers and it's an absolute joy to colour with all of them!I thought a notebook would be a great way to enjoy this image for a bit longer than a card. I removed the covers by gently prising open the spine and made some new, sturdier ones from some chipboard using the originals as a guide to punch the holes. The burlap background stamp was used on the inside of the covers too so the texture carries over.

What a lovely stamp Joanne! You are quite right to make a notebook with it so that you can admire it all the time. X
Oooh, I saw this IRL and its gorgeous.....x
That's an amazing stamp Joanne and it looks fab as a notebook front.
Gorgeous notebook, the burlap stamp is great - hmmm I haven't got that one. It may just be too long since the Vikings landed in Northumbria to celebrate and I don't think the locals had much to celebrate - ha ha ha!
They do have Uphelia (sp) in Shetland.
Lovely notebook Joanne. We are pumpkin mad in our house. I just love that little stalk sticking out of the top of the pumpkin, how it wiggles instead of being straight!!
It makes it look almost 3D.
This notebook is just gorgeous, Joanne
Fab stamp and beautiful colours
This is such a gorgeous image Joanne ... the notebook was an excellent idea ... and your coloring is exquisite!!!
Love your cover, gives me an idea. Years ago a friend sent me a book entitles " Writing my Own CookBook" and the pages were all blank. Of course I have put my favourite recipes in it and it is full. So my idea is to make another one for myself. Thanks for the idea. Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne
Your coloring is so subtle and lovely! Gorgeous, Joanne!
