Friendship Notebook with handmade ribbon work

by Cheryl Walker
(Saratoga Springs)

My notebook was made using this vintage Easter image, but I thought it would be perfect for a friendship notebook.

Techniques used on my notebook would be distressing for a vintage feel. Sewing,and all ribbon work is handmade by me. I did roses, rosettes, and little scrunched flowers. I also added some lace.

I've added LOTS of ribbon to my notebook, of course. I LOVE RIBBON :) hehehe. There is lace on the background part of my notebook and it's distressed, too. I added a bow and two buttons to complete my notebook.

Thank you so much for this lovely Challenge, as I had fun designing this notebook and using one of your Easter images!
