Quick Notepads Using Your Scrappy Stash

I came across an old quick video tutorial by Kristina Werner, back when she represented Two Peas in a Bucket here that I thought was a great idea.

I love a craft that is quick and satisfying whilst also being a great idea and useful day to day.

Make your own notepad/notebook/jotter... what ever you want to call it.  I guess you dont really need a tute for it.  All I did was use double sided tape on the spine of a notepad and cut a piece of scrapbooking paper big enough to fold over the top edge becoming the notebook's front and back cover at once.  Then used my mini alphas and stamps to add titles to the front of some.

I made lots! And even added them to party favor bags, because - you know, kids love writing and doodling...

I'm dreaming of notebook sets tied up with string... ah, the simple things in life!

Want to Make Your Own Envelopes??

I found this wonderful link on Pinterest and just had to share... Mel from Melstampz went fishing around the internet back in 2008 and found 100 various links to Envelopes in all sizes and wonderful papers.  I can't wait to find the time to have a proper look-see and make a bunch of fab envelopes!

Thanks Mel!
