Pretty in Pink!

Those of you who do not know me personally are out of the loop. On what? My new Mary Kay business! I have been a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant for 9 days now! I have held 2 parties and I love spending time teaching women the essentials of skin care and sharing with them wonderful Mary Kay products. I, personally, have been using Mary Kay products for a little over 3 years and wholeheartedly believe in the products. The only thing on my face on my wedding day was Mary Kay. Only the best for such a special day, and every other day, for that matter. Now, on to my project! While talking with my sales director (a wonderful, beautiful, Godly woman, by the way) she mentioned that I will want a 3 subject notebook to track 3 aspects on the business end of Mary Kay. 3 subject notebooks are so blah, so I prettied mine up!

This is the front. The black and white paper was from Joann's, not sure what brand. The pink was from I RAK, I only had a 5x5 sheet of it, yet I think it went pretty far. The punches were both Mavy.
The lace was a RAK, the rhinestones from Michaels, the buttons, off old clothing. Here is the back. The ribbon from my stash, buckles off a pair of old jeans.
A close-up of quite a few things.
The corner and the dividing tabs (to make 3 sections). Our unit is the Royal Rockstars, so I had to include a star somewhere!

Notebook

So my newest act of creativity comes not from me having time to be creative on my own time, but rather from a school project, in which the teacher and I (yes, also a teacher!) want the children to be creative. Therefore, in order to motivate the children to expose their inner creativity, I made a lovely example.

The assignment is to be creative and incorporate at least five things about you to share with the rest of the forth grade classroom. So, my example awaits your viewing!

It started as a simple composition notebook.

Then I added a background ------>




Then I used a little Microsoft Word drawing magic, a cute font and inserted a couple pictures of my favorite people (they are great pictures, by the way, so you should click on it for a close-up).

Ola! Example finished.
