Fresh ripe strawberries served with tart lemon curd on top. Mmmmm. That’s the inspiration behind today’s little project. I have wanted a 2-step strawberry for years. And now I finally have one, well, actually two, because there are two sizes in this set. This project uses the smaller of the two to create patterned paper. I cut out a single strawberry and tied it to the pencil with matching red ribbon. I wanted the spine of the notebook to be a nice retro green rather than black, so I painted it using a foam brush and acrylic paint. Doing several thin coats works better than one thick coat.
Yummy strawberries!! Your notebook is adorable!
This just SOLD me on the set! I love Strawberries and picked them every summer from age 11-18 and still enjoy eating them. Can’t wait to get my hands on this set & your journal is just FUN!!! Ida
I hope you have lots of this stamp set in stock because you are going to SELL OUT quickly!
Yummy project and stamp set 🙂

Beautiful notebook, but I have a question. I just finished my first altered notebook last week and I am wondering if mine is the only one in the world where the cover now curls inward. the cover will not lay flat anymore and I don’t have a clue how to fix or prevent this. Any ideas?
