It's a new year and a leap year! An extra day to start and finish things. I'm excited, and have been busy planning what I might do with a bonus day - I don't want to waste it.
This year I broke with tradition and my first project was not a new journal cover. I know, it was a bit of a shock to me too. It is the first time in years that I haven't sat down on the 1st January and made one.
All I wanted to make was this notepad cover. I couldn't concentrate on anything else until I finished putting it together.
It is one of the three covers from the first pattern in this years club From Me to You. The club starts in February and I'll be posting details shortly.
I was very tempted to repeat this on the 2012 journal cover but felt it was too similar to last years. Afterall it's a new year and it needs to be embraced with a new look.
So I went with a little bit of whimsy.
Happy New Year, Marg. Your notebook and journal covers are gorgeous :)

What fantastic projects! I am really looking forward to receiving info about your club. So tempting- or should I say "sew" tempting.
