Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge: A sweet altered recipe book for a sweet friend featuring "Sugar n' Spice" Marci

Hello and welcome to the Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge! 

Hope everyone is having a great week!  This week starts the normal work and school week for our household.  Vacation is over and now I have my true test of the resolutions I made to be more organized and less stressed! LOL  Wish me luck!!!

So this week we have the favorite "Anything Goes"!!!

Our wonderful sponsor for this week's challenge is The Cutting Cafe!

   

Here is my project...

So if you are wondering what this is, it is actually a recipe book I picked up on clearance at Michaels over a year ago!  A bestie of mine has started a cake pop business and I've been wanting to make her something special to use for her new venture! I already liked the colors on the cover of the book itself so I just altered it a bit using the same color combo and added cute "Sugar n' Spice Marci" by La La Land Crafts.  I colored up Marci with my Copic markers and added some glitter to her cupcake. I also added my new favorite  Die-Namics Open Scallop Doily Die by MFT behind her.  The paper collection I used is called "Handmade with Love" by  Carta Bella.  Such a fun collection to use for this theme! I actually used stickers for the name of her business and punched them out using a circle punch.  My embellishments include some Prima flowers, teal shabby chic trim and lots of bling! :) 

Here's an up close look at Marci...

Here's a view of the inside. I did switch out the original folders and added my own with the designer papers. I also added some personalized tabs which I thought would pertain more to her new business as well as some cute stickers from the collection...
