“I’m so happy to be back on the blog this month!

I’m sharing a project made with the beautiful Let it Bee Keepsake Edition!

These are little Garden notebooks; each has a pencil, a few tags, and a 4″ by 6″ notebook.

The first one has a wrap-around ribbon that ties on the front.

I used one of the dies and cut a piece of transparency to make a stencil that I used on the notebook pages.
