ABC Friday~ Lil’ Notebooks…

Posted by Jen | ABC Friday, projects | Friday, August 29, 2008

I posted a bunch-o-samples of The Cat’s Pajamas cards yesterday because TODAY IS THE DAY OF THEIR RELEASE. Head on over and see what goodness is in store!

Last year {yes, you read that correctly} I got a bunch of little notebooks for a dime a piece at Walgreens. They measure 4″x6″ and are just the perfect size for quick altering. For the past few years, I have been making notebooks for Tony’s cousins. This year one is in 9th grade and the other is in 4th. I can’t believe how fast they have grown up!! They are the sweetest girls and I was happy to send these to them earlier this week…

For Korynn (9th grader with a fun and funky edge)…

The skull is from Pink Paislee and the Notebook Paper is from Cornish Heritage Farms. I finally got me some “Thickers” {those letter stickers that you see}. LOVEEE ‘em!

Those fun black and white polka letters are from Making Memories…LOVEEE ‘em, too!!

The bracket-y {have no idea what to call that shape!} panel is from a tag book that I got at Michael’s from K&Co. I am awaiting my Nestabilities in the same shape!!…what I spent my bday $$ on.

See you manana for a Sketch For You To Try!

    Hi Jen! Those little notebooks are *darling*!! I was wondering what type of adhesive you used for the base covers? I’ve been playing around w/ some larger notebooks, but haven’t found just the right adhesive to use - things keep popping up!! LOL

    Thanks so much!

    I was sitting with my DD when I looked at this post - she said “Oooo, I love that! Can you make one for me?” She love them!

    Thanks for sharing Jen!
