Ok. I have to confess that I'm now addicted to making covered notebooks. I've seen the fantastic items that others have produced and thought they'd make lovely gifts. I recently bought some of Papertrey's notepads and gave them a try myself.
My cover is an 8 1/4 x 5 3/4 inch piece of cardstock scored along the short side at 2 3/4 and 3 inches to make a spine for the pad. If you want to have a pocket flap on the inside left cover, use an 8 1/4 x 8 1/4 piece of cardstock and score at 2 1/2, 5 1/4 and 5 1/2 (or use Nichole's great template which you'll find here). Then decorate!

ReplyDeleteNotebooks! I am ashamed at the lack of ink my Take Note set has seen! These are darling... perfect little gifts.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these. I bought them when they first came out, decided I could not work with them, and promptly sold them! But they are so cute - and just great little gifts for really anyone. Love your felt flower!
ReplyDeleteThose are great! I finally inked up my Take Note set last night. I love making notebooks, too. I'm starting mine for little Thanksgiving favors. I hope to finish them today.
ReplyDeleteThese are so great! I don't have this set yet, but it's high on my list! These would make great stocking stuffers!
ReplyDeleteI love notebooks - these are so cute. Your papers and colour combos are great!ute.
ReplyDeleteI love these (especially your second one!). I did a TON of these as teacher gifts last year (my son had like 6 or 7 teachers- as a kindergartener!!! crazy!... but they all LOVED them) Yours are sooo good
ReplyDeleteHi Anne!
