When I Visit Grandma
When our grandson, Kaylub comes to visit, I know his Mom wants to have all the details of his stay! You know…what time he ate, how many formula ounces he consumed, length of sleeping time, etc. Hence, the idea of a notebook came to mind and this little Kaylub creation was designed! I purchased the notebook (in a three pack) from Walgreen Drugstore some time ago, waiting to be utilized for just the perfect project! I was drawn to the notebook because of its cover colors and also the thickness of the cover, making it quite sturdy and durable. I created a photo pocket by trimming down a small clear envelope to size needed. The pocket is attached with scor tape. The pocket opening is on the left, so the cardstock framed photo doesn’t have a chance of falling out.
The front and back outside cover is stamped with watermark ink. I love how this adds so much interest without taking away from the precious photo! Of course, I may be just a tiny bit biased! You have to admit though, he’s darling! The twine you see at the top of notebook is tied onto a paperclip to hold pages together. This makes finding the most recent entry a snap.
To personalize the notebook, I utilized JustRite’s Times New Roman font, both uppercase and lowercase. The “K” is 95pt uppercase font. Having the versatility of Times New Roman in upper and lower case is another JustRite font feature I love! After stamping the letter “K” and positioning my label punch, I created my tag. I shaded the label edging and added green eyelets to finish. The label is attached with foam dimensionals.
I made use of a leftover mini notebook page from a scrapbooking kit, perfect to stamp my words on! I used both JustRite Times New Roman 50pt, upper and lower case font. Setting and stamping the words individually and randomly, made it easy and no worries about misplacement! A little heart with bakers string placed on a punched circle completes the overall page design.
I used my JustRite Oval 1 3/4” x 2 5/16” wooden stamper for all letter and word stamping. Pictured above is the Times New Roman 50pt uppercase font. I’m pleased with the look of the upper and lower case font…it adds just enough interest to keep your attention to the end of the statement.
And here is a close up the stamped word, Grandma. Perfect sized notebook to tuck in a diaper bag, record all necessary information (Grandma gushing included!), and create a log of precious memories in the process. It’s certain to become a keepsake, one created with love to remember treasured visits with Grandma!
Get ready for a spectacular JustRite Font Blog Hop, this Thursday and Friday! I will be hopping too, and return next Monday & Tuesday! Take good care!
