Decorated Notepad

Hi there!  It's Erin here with you today, sharing a project that was much needed in my purse!  Haha!  I am always wanting to write things down, as I have so much going on in my life, I would forget, otherwise!  With 3 kids, it's sometimes hard to keep up!

I don't know where I came up with this idea.  Either I cased it from someone else, or I created it on my own, I have no idea.  But, I have been making covers for notepads for quite a few years as little gifts.  I also stick a coordinating piece of paper inside an R.S.V.P. pen and whah lah!  Instant gift for a teacher, co worker, friend, whomever!  Who doesn't like something that like?!

To start with, take a note pad (found at Walmart, or any paper/stationery store.  I measured a piece of black cardstock, folded it in two places to create a book.  Then, I decorated the front!

I used Authentique's Lovely 6" x 6" stack, Tim Holtz's Picture Wheel die & Strip Alphabet die, white gesso, and assorted other materials.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!
