One of my favorite things to make is an altered notebook to give away. A "just because" kind of gift that'll hopefully put a smile on her face and be useful as well. I seem to use this stamp often, I don't know why as I have several Anyas still uninked. But I guess she's my favorite--she was my very first Anya stamp.
Since this is a "notebook", I purposely avoided bulky items--no bow or flowers (that was hard, lol), and kept to a simple layout.
