Hello everyone and welcome to Nonna's Craft Corner.
I'm really excited to be taking part in today's Love My Cameo Blog Hop!
I've only had my Cameo for a few weeks, but, I am already in ♥Love♥. I'm still learning about this fabulous machine and doing a lot of 'trial and error", but I'm getting there! I love being able to browse the Silhouette Store online, choose some cute little images (for only .99 cents each) and cut them out immediately! Talk about instant gratification! Anyway, I was really thrilled when Sarah from Pink By Design asked me to be part of this hop!
If you are hopping right along, you should have to come to my blog from Gaby at Gaby Creates. If you just happened along and would like to start at the beginning, head over to Amy's at Amy Chomas. If you should get lost along the way, here is the complete line up:
Ok, so let's get started with my project. I wanted to make a special Valentine's gift for my granddaughter Emma. Lately she has a fascination with unicorns and Pegasus. So, when I came across this cute little Pegasus image at the Silhouette Store, I knew I had to use it for Emma's gift....

***********************************
***********************************
Notebook Recipe:
* I cut two pieces of chipboard to 7 X 8 inches and covered with this fun Valentine's, striped paper from K&Company. I added some white stitching lines with my gel pen.
* I cut a top-note shape (purchased at the Silhouette Store0 from the heart patterned paper, inked up the edges and added some hot pink ribbon before adhering it to the striped layers.
* The scalloped heart is also purchased from the Silhouette Store. I ran it through my Cuttlebug using the "Doodle Hearts" embossing folder by Paper Studio. Next I spritzed the heart with a bit of Silver "Glimmer Mist". I also used a white gel pen to add a few stitching lines around my heart.
* After cutting out and assembling the Pegasus image, I added some Martha Stewart glitter in "Sugar Cube" to his wings and "Tourmaline" to his tail and mane. I also used a paper punch to make a wreath of flowers around his neck. The center of each flower has a hot pink gem.
* I used the Spellbinders die "Labels 11" to create my sentiment mat which is stamped with the perfect sentiment from the Pink By Design stamp set Inner Princess. After adding a few stitching lines, I slipped my sentiment mat under the ribbon and glued into place.
* I cut sheet of white and pink paper for the inside pages and bound the notebook together using my Cinch and some hot pink .75 inch wire.
* Hot pink and white ribbon tied to the wires finished off the front of my book.
***********************************
Pencil Holder Recipe:
* I cleaned and smoothed off the edges of a vegetable can and sprayed it with white spray paint.
* After it was completely dry, I covered the can with more of that cute Valentine paper and added a white border created with a Martha Stewart punch.
* I cut out several hearts in various sizes on my Cameo and stamped them with fun sentiments from Pink By Design.
* A hot pink bow finishes up this easy project!

I couldn't help myself from adding a few more fun sentiments to the back of Emma's notebook! Do you think she knows how special I think she is?
