Getting ready for 2009

One of the classes that I took recently was covering a little diary for 2009 and also making a cute little gift box. It was really interesting seeing the different colours and stamps sets people chose, the end results were fantastic and they all looked so different. These make a lovely Christmas present and the best thing about it is they do not cost alot to make. There are so many really neat stamps to choose from when you decorate up your diary, I decided to use Touch of Nature stamp set. I used the old olive marker to colour in the leaves and the watercolour pencils to colour in the little bird. Watercolour pencils are fantastic because you can blend in the colours easily and get a fantastic result. I then stamped the little bird, shaped it and raised it on the diary for a 3d effect using the Stampin' Dimensionals.
